Accordingly, let us now look at some common definitions of what is encompassed in Grant's behavior:
Graft, n. Unscrupulous use of one's position to derive profit or advantages; extortion.
Money or an advantage gained or yielded by unscrupulous means. (source )
Corruption, n. Lack of integrity or honesty (especially susceptibility to bribery);
use of a position of trust for dishonest gain. (source )
It might be added, that Grant is the face on the fifty-dollar bill. Quite an honor for someone that practiced such behavior. Perhaps the people behind the money condone such types? After all, the Federal Reserve System by its unlawful currency is making a ton of interest on the debt it creates. As all should know, the post "Civil War" amendment, the Fourteenth, tells us the Public Debt shall not be questioned. Yes, yes, move along, nothing to see here (see Title 12 USC Section 411).
In further reference to the post "Civil War" questionable behavior of which the United States practices, the Supreme Court noted this about Congress in the case of Citizen's Savings & Loan Assn v. Topeka:
To lay, with one hand, the power of the government on the property of the citizen, and with the other to bestow it upon favored individuals to aid private enterprises and build up private fortunes, is none the less robbery because it is done under the form of law and is called taxation. This is not legislation. It is a decree under legislative forms.
-Citizen's Savings & Loan Assn v. Topeka, 20 Wall (87 US) 655, 664 (1874)
Did the court just reference that Congress are a bunch of thieves? You are reminded that the above referenced case was over one hundred and twenty-five years ago. As it appears, the more recent "corporate" bailouts by the Federal Government seem to be the standard operating procedure of said government... It has just gotten worse over the past 140 years.
So the question is, has anything really changed? Let us look at what is really being supported by Americans...
Benito Mussolini had stated that, "Fascism should rightly be called Corporatism, as it is the merger of corporate and government power." As many know, Mussolini was considered a fascist dictator. He further stated this in regard to the government that you have, "Democracy is beautiful in theory; in practice it is a fallacy..." and that, "...Fascism is a religious concept." You are reminded, Thomas Jefferson told us that, "People get the government they deserve."
