This question is addressed primarily to Rick McGeer and Jamie Andrews,
but anyone else is welcome.

Here in Boston, I occaisionally obtain a copy of "Michael Fighting",
an extreme (by my standards) right-wing Catholic flier which (when
not denouncing public schools and taxes as Satanic conspiracies) 
advocates Social Credit.

The Social Credit they advocate consists largely of the government
minting money and giving it to citizens, instead of taxing anyone.
Sort of a trickle-up scheme.  Please correct me if I've misunderstood.

Is this in any way related to the Social Credit Party you've been
discussing?  How important and influential are these people?
