Once you start to tax and regulate, then\u00a0come\u00a0the bribes. The Medici installed popes because they wanted to control money flows. Kings installed bishops to control the people using religion. Napoleon confiscated the property of the church, as did Henry\u00a0VIII,\u00a0because they needed the money. Constantine became Christian for he could then rob all the Pagan temples.<\/p>\n<p>No system has survived. Unfortunately, society allows it for as a whole we are complacent. Hillary is beside herself for she has been lying and stealing from the public for such a long time that she does not understand why people are mad.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><a href=\"http:\/\/armstrongeconomics-wp.s3.amazonaws.com\/2015\/09\/Jefferson-Revolution.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-37139\" src=\"http:\/\/armstrongeconomics-wp.s3.amazonaws.com\/2015\/09\/Jefferson-Revolution.jpg\" alt=\"Jefferson-Revolution\" width=\"943\" height=\"455\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>\n<p>This is part of the revolutionary cycle, which hits about once every 300-years.
