Federal Reserve Dividends

[edit]

You wrote:
While the Federal Reserve dividends are fixed at 6 percent, by law, the Federal Reserve member banks are required to return the dividend payments exceeding their operating costs. [1] The film completely overlooks this fact.

Um, no they don't. The dividend is the return on their (forced) investment. When interest rates are low, it's a good return. When rates are high, it's a crappy return. But it would be even crappier if they had to apply it to their "operating costs", whatever that's supposed to mean, and return anything above that! -- 01:36, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

Money Masters

[edit]

I am interested in the criticism section on your user page;

While the film came out in 1996, predicting an imminent major depression, this depression has not happened. -The Money Masters / Criticism (deleted section)

The current credit crunch could well be the start of what they were talking about. I should state here that I do not agree with the video as a whole, only on some of the content. --Zven (talk) 06:27, 13 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
