We need investment tax programs, for the private sector. We must provide credit through the public sector. But, we must, by increasing the amount of income, in the private sector through public-sector stimulus, we must recycle savings from the private sector, into things of national importance. And, the best way to do that, is to take things that we know have to be done, that are important, and sponsor that development with investment tax credit programs, of the type that Kennedy introduced, back during the early 1960s.
There's one fundamental conceptual change that must be made. And this goes back to the question, as I said, of the nature of the United States. At the time the United States was coming into existence, in the 18th century, Europe was divided, chiefly, between two large forces, one, the Hapsburg-centered interests, of Spain -- Spain was pretty much a piece of wreckage at that time -- but Austro-Hungary, and so forth, in one part; and in the North, a neo-Venetian development, in the Netherlands, and later in England, which became known as the Anglo-Dutch liberal system, associated with the philosophies of Hobbes, and Locke, and David Hume, and Adam Smith, and so forth.
This system, which is the characteristic today of the European parliamentary system, is a key problem. That fact that with the introduction of the Federal Reserve System, we introduced something similar in the United States, has been a chief cause of our problems over more than a century.
The Anglo-Dutch liberal system, the so-called parliamentary system typical of Europe, is a fraud. You have a system of government, of a state apparatus and a parliamentary system, but you also have something which is outside government as such: it's called an independent central banking system. An independent central banking system is a concert of financier interests, not necessarily banks, but financier interests, a concert which controls, a joint institution, called a central banking system. This central banking system, by virtue of its independence, exerts control over the government, over the finances of the nation, and so forth and so on. Therefore, no European government today is really free. They are all victims of so-called independent central banking systems.
What's been done to weaken the United States, done at the behest by the then Prince of Wales, King of England, Edward VII, was to impose the Federal Reserve system on the United States, which was done by joint action, in the end, of Teddy Roosevelt and Woodrow Wilson. Woodrow Wilson's administration installed it, Teddy Roosevelt made it possible.
What we have to do is end that, and go back to the original intention of the United States, the characteristic of the United States, which makes us beloved by those who observed our good things over the past.
The United States was founded on principles expressed by the Preamble of the Constitution. The Preamble is the absolute law, the Constitutional law, of the United States. The other parts of the Constitution are subordinate. Any amendment to the Constitution is subordinate to the reading of it, in light of the Preamble.
The Preamble contains three essential principles. One, the general welfare. That government is legitimate only to the extent that it officially promotes the general welfare of the people. Secondly, the government is sovereign; that there is no agency outside government, and the people, the people's government, which has any authority in the territory of that nation. No independent central banking system. Third, that the government is responsible, not to the will of the existing population, as much as it is to the general welfare of the {future} population. In other words, the Constitution is a future-oriented institution, dedicated to the well-being, primarily, of our children, grandchildren, and greatgrandchildren generation. That is our responsibility of government.
We have to restore that, these deep principles, again. We have to eliminate things like the Garn-St. Germain, and Kemp-Roth bills, which are totally against that philosophy, and, as I said, go to the question of what I've indicated.
