He chased them from their temple practicing usury and the hit on his life was made.
This is true, but the sin being committed was much deeper than usury per se. The greater sin was the act of sacrilege and desecration, maybe even blasphemy, in the House of the Lord - the Temple, which is reserved only for worship of the Most High, when they were money changing and trading there.
Notice how the anti-Federal Reserve and libertarian crowd usually leave that most important part out whenever they reference Jesus Christ taking the whip to the money changers, probably because this same libertarian crowd are generally a bunch of faithless heathens, themselves, who suck down the freemasonic, man-centered notion of "liberty".
Don't get me wrong, I'm anti-Federal Reserve, too, but abolishing The Fed won't save my soul.
