Argument

The Money Masters discusses the topics of money (as it relates to central banking and fractional reserve banking), debt, and taxes, and purports to describe the development of those subjects from their origin in the "dark ages". The film claims that the "safe and easy guaranteed huge profit made by printing money" is currently being used in the United States to benefit a few wealthy individuals. It argues that this situation should be remedied, so that this alleged profit benefits the public good, as, according to the film, has been the case during four periods in the history of the United States.

Private central banking and fractional reserve banking

The film criticises the control aspects of modern centralized banking systems such as the Federal Reserve System and regulation. It purports to describe the history of money and banking, and to show the viewer how central banks came to be what they are today and how they currently operate. As support for these assertions, the film provides what it claims are quotations from past United States presidents and "major players in the banking industry".

Money creation

The film argues that the U.S. Congress has given the power of money creation to private banks, through the Federal Reserve Act and that these banks are accumulating interest and large amounts of money because of this power, and that this results in slowly drawing money into the hands of a small number of banking elite, while the general population suffers.

Federal Reserve gold

The film argues that there is no gold left in Fort Knox, because it now belongs to banks as collateral holding against the government's debt. The film argues that since the gold was accumulated by making it illegal for citizens to hold gold, that the people's gold has been essentially stolen by private banks. The film also claims that this gold was used as holding on government loans to escape the Great Depression, and that the majority of this gold went to overseas banks, which used it to fund Nazi Germany.

Nazi gold refers to the assets in gold transferred by the Nazi regime to banks outside the Third Reich during the Second World War. ...

Depressions

The film argues that the Federal Reserve System enables United States banks to force recessions at will, allegedly through money shortages caused when the banks refuse to offer new loans while simultaneously demanding payment on existing loans. According to the film, those banks have used this power a number of times since the 1913 creation of the Federal Reserve, resulting in "many major depressions" from 1913 to the present. In macroeconomics, the definition of recession is a decline in any countrys Gross Domestic Product (GDP), or negative real economic growth, for two or more successive quarters of a year. ...

Media control

The film contends that by the end of World War I private central banks owned and controlled much of America's large media, paper and film outlets, and that they achieved this through the large consolidation of wealth generated by Fractional-reserve banking and later a fractional based finance system. The film contends this alleged near-monopoly of the financial system goes largely unnoticed or redacted from the human history because of the control of human information exchange through this mainstream media ownership! “The Great War ” redirects here. ...

Tax

The film touches briefly on the U.S. federal income tax. See also Tax protester constitutional arguments. Tax protester constitutional arguments are arguments raised by tax protesters that assert that the imposition of the income tax in the United States violates the United States Constitution. ...

Monetary Reform Act

By way of conclusion, the film presents an option for a different kind of monetary policy for the United States of America. The film suggests that the fractional reserve banking and the Federal Reserve System be abolished in favour of 100% reserve. These reserve will come from the government, which will issue non-interest generating notes to repay the public debt to the banks. This will happen over a gradual period of one year. As the government repays its debt with printed notes, the banks will be required to hold the notes as reservers, as the reserve rate is slowly increased to 100%, and thus no inflation or imbalance in the amount of money will occur. An extra 3% of the total notes in circulation will then be supplied each year by the government into the economy, varying only with variations in the population of the country. When all government debt is repaid, the government shall distribute the money as a tax refund to tax payers, which will then lead to the abolition of income tax.
