Will more crops be grown if wages were raised?

We don't need to raise wages or stimulate employment. The free market can handle all details much better than government regulation can. What we need is to demand honesty in banking. The Fed is a privately owned bank masquerading as a federal agency. The Fed pretends to stabilize the economy when in fact it's only job is to inflate the money supply. Most people can't understand these concepts because they never learned the first fact about money, or money management, or government, or honesty. The average joe can't even comprehend that the stock market has been collapsing, slowly, since fall 2007. Every use of unbacked paper currency has led to a collapse within forty years. We are now in the 43rd year since Nixon abolished gold backing of the US dollar, and in the 8th year of the market collapse.
