Subject: The Federal Reserve and the Integrity of Our Monetary System

Dear Mr. President,

I write to you today out of a deep concern for the economic integrity and future of our nation. The Federal Reserve System, which was established in 1913, has long been justified as a stabilizing force in our financial system. However, a closer examination reveals that it operates on principles that not only contradict fundamental economic fairness but also undermine the prosperity and liberty of the American people.

To illustrate this point in the simplest terms, I ask you to imagine explaining the Federal Reserve to a five-year-old. Picture a playground where children trade real, valuable gold coins for toys. One day, a new child arrives and convinces everyone to use paper notes instead of gold, promising they are "just as good." Over time, the children realize these paper notes cannot actually be exchanged for gold. Worse yet, the new child and his friends continue printing more paper notes while hoarding the real gold, allowing them to control all the toys and property. When other children borrow these paper notes but cannot repay them, they lose their belongings—despite the fact that the money was created from nothing.

This scenario, simplified as it may be, encapsulates the fraudulent nature of the Federal Reserve’s monetary system. In the early days of the United States, our currency was backed by gold and silver, ensuring that money retained real value. However, over the past century, and particularly with the abandonment of the gold standard in 1971, our money has become a fiat currency—created out of thin air by central banks and commercial lenders. This has allowed an elite few to control vast amounts of wealth without producing anything of tangible value.

The economic consequences are severe:

• Inflation continues to erode the purchasing power of hardworking Americans, serving as a hidden tax on the working and middle classes.

• The government’s reliance on debt, facilitated by the Federal Reserve’s ability to create money without limits, has led to unsustainable deficits and financial instability.

• The cycle of boom and bust, caused by artificially manipulated interest rates, has enriched Wall Street at the expense of Main Street.

• Americans are forced into economic servitude, borrowing money that was never backed by real assets while facing real consequences if they fail to repay it.

Beyond economics, this system also has legal and moral ramifications. The U.S. Constitution, in Article 1, Section 10, states that only gold and silver shall be legal tender. Yet today, our financial institutions operate in direct violation of this principle. More fundamentally, a society built on deception—where those who produce nothing hold power over those who produce everything—is unsustainable and unjust.

History has repeatedly shown that civilizations that debase their currency ultimately collapse. From the Roman Empire to Weimar Germany to present-day Venezuela, economies that rely on printing money rather than sound fiscal policies inevitably meet disaster. The United States, as the world’s leading economic power, must not fall into the same trap.

Mr. President, I urge you to take decisive action to address this issue. The American people deserve a monetary system based on transparency, fairness, and real value—not a system that enriches financial elites at the expense of the nation. Some potential solutions include:

1. Auditing the Federal Reserve – The American people have a right to know how their currency is managed and who truly benefits from its creation.

2. Exploring a return to commodity-backed money – Whether through gold, silver, or decentralized alternatives, a return to sound money would restore economic stability and fairness.

3. Ending fractional reserve banking – Banks should not be allowed to lend out money they do not actually have, creating debt slavery for millions of Americans.

4. Encouraging honest financial education – Americans must be taught the truth about how money works, rather than being indoctrinated into a system that only benefits the few.

This is not a partisan issue; it is a matter of economic justice and national survival. The current system is unsustainable, and without reform, it will collapse—either through hyperinflation, debt default, or social unrest. The question is whether we will take proactive steps to restore financial integrity or wait until crisis forces our hand.

I implore you, as the leader of our nation, to stand with the American people against this corrupt system. It is time to break free from the cycle of debt and deception and ensure that future generations inherit a nation of opportunity, fairness, and real prosperity.

Respectfully,

Zachary Moore
