The economy only works for 1% of the population, for the rest of us it's broken. They pay very little or no taxes and the rest of us foot the bill. Most are living on starvation wages; prices keep going, up but they themselves pay little or nothing. Then they tell us wages are too high and they need to raise taxes on the middle class and cut taxes for the wealthy. Banks loan money that they don't even have and sell debts they made with money that doesn't exist. When the banks and big business went broke they got bailed out with our money and we weren't even asked if it was OK.
You have to keep your money in their banks, if not, someone else who thinks they need it more than you do might take it. When you want to get your money out, it's like pulling teeth -- they limit how much of your own money, that you earned with your blood, sweat and tears, you can take out or transfer. Even then, depending on what you want to do with it, it could take a week to get it and then they charge you a fee to give you the privilege of doing what you want with your own money.
Isn't government supposed to be by the people, for the people and of the people? Isn't that why they call them public servants? Aren't they there to serve justice and liberty and equality for all? We're supposed to be able to choose someone different if they aren't doing the job they were elected to do. But how is it that it seems we are always having to not choose from the best but but the lesser of two evils -- people who, to our faces pretend to care about us, but are actually untrustworthy, liars and deceivers?
We don't really have a Democracy, we have an oligarchy where the central banks and the ultra wealthy are really in control. They tell us what our money is worth and it seems that somehow it's our fault that the country is all but bankrupt. They even talk about ending Social Security or raising the retirement age.
When they need or want money they just print a whole lot of it up, which makes our money worth a whole lot less and with that hard-earned money, we pay the interest on the money that the government borrowed from the Federal Reserve, who printed it up for free. Now if you're an ordinary person, printing up money that wasn't printed by them is what is commonly known as counterfeiting for which you could go to prison for a long, long time, but when they do it it is called quantitative easing.
We are bombarded with advertisements constantly convincing us that we need all these expensive new drugs that really only poison our bodies and are ineffective and have many, many side effects. Commercials tell us the we absolutely have to have the latest car or electronic gadget, all these fancy clothes, expensive vacations, etc., all which are too expensive for us to afford. So to get those things we have to borrow the money or put it all on those convenient credit cards. But we pay it all with extremely high interest rates that are manipulated by the central banks with money that is worth less and less every day. To top it off we are not borrowing money at all -- it's just zeros and ones! They give us loans with money that they don't have, charge us high rates that they themselves have set, and then then turn around and sell or trade those debts for gain.
When the banks go broke through their own incompetence and deception, then who pays the bill? The taxpayer. They rob it from the taxpayer! This is why this system needs to be disrupted and a new decentralized currency put in place for the justice, fairness and equality for all people, all over the world. This is why I promote Bitcoin!
