Fractional reserve banking is usury. Usury is the practice of making unethical and immoral loans. If banks wished to charge a fee for holding my money, they should have every right to do so. If myself and all of my countrymen wanted to withdraw our funds simultaneously, we should have every right to do so. The practice of fractional banking promotes privilege for bankers and penalties for citizens. This petition is an attempt to redirect power from the few at the top and add more power to the many at the bottom. This petition is an attempt to begin balancing a broken financial system before it causes a tremendous social collapse. This is not rhetoric, this is history. If banks are allowed to continue absorbing wealth from the American working class, the scales of power will topple badly.
