You'll notice that the name of this organization is Freedom Above Fortune, not Freedom Without Fortune or Freedom Instead of Fortune. Rather, Freedom Above Fortune is an organization dedicated to the concept that no amount of real or perceived economic prosperity or fortune is worth trading for your freedom. This is not to say that pursuing economic prosperity, in and of itself, is bad. Rather, it is to say that those who are willing to sell their freedom and their children's freedom for a few pieces of silver, as Judas did when he betrayed Jesus Christ, are shortsighted and foolish. If you are willing to sell your freedom for short term financial security, real or perceived, the willingness to sell your very soul can't be far behind. Freedom Above Fortune was founded by Joseph R. (Joe) Banister, a former IRS Criminal Investigation Division Special Agent who learned of serious constitutional questions relating to the federal income tax and the federal banking and monetary systems. Mr. Banister's expertise in the fields of accounting, finance, taxation, and law enforcement enabled him to not only understand these issues but realize that he could play a role in bringing the issues into the public arena for analysis and debate.
