'Permit me to issue and control the money of a nation, and I care not who makes its laws.' Mayer Anselm Rothschild, 1790

Neither the president nor congress can dismiss or appoint fed leaders - Monetary oligarchy. So can we say that democracy in the USA celebrates the 114th anniversary of its death today?
