Imagine gas at fifty dollars a gallon.

That's the new world you are facing.

A world where your hard-earned money won't buy you anything like it used to.

Won't matter to the bankers, because they set the rates, and print more money.

Win-win all round, for the 1 %.

It goes deeper than that, you may not opt out. All land is owned and taxed. You belong to whom ever owns the land you are standing on. Taxation equals ownership.

Nothing wrong about money, only that's wrong how the money is currently created.

Depends on what you mean by 'wrong' i guess. It's just numbers, so how could that be wrong. But it's effects are very destructive. It causes people to focus on those numbers instead of on what we really need.

We don't need money. We need food, water, housing, clean air, health, love, etc But because of money... food is of inferior quality, water and air is polluted, houses are foreclosed, our health has to suffer, and we are made to hate rather then love one another.

I believe it's not the money that has failed.

The problem is that corporates control the government, not the other way.

Watch great documentary film "Burzynski". This is a case were government officials keep throwing shit to great project that has promising results in innovative cancer treatment. Of cource government would not do this unless it is controlled by corporates.

Well yes, i agree with you on that. The thing is, money is at the core of all that. It's what drives that behavior. Maybe it is possible to patch things up for a while. But wouldn't it be better to explore how we want our society to work instead of continuing to patch a broken system?

I am just afraid that giving up money would lead to problems that occured in CCCP. But I may be terribly wrong.

Very seldom does change happen in one big bang. You should start by demanding free education and healthcare.

I suggested this in one post and everyone opposed. I was surprised. Free edu and health works great in here, Finland. And here allmost every citizen agrees that these things are very important to have.

And if we afford it, so do you. We don't have basically any natural resources. Just forest and even that is slowly growing when compared to subtropical/tropical forest.

I would definitely agree with working toward it phased. Free education and healthcare and providing other human needs free or cheap would be a good step forward.

btw i think this counts for all countries. I'm not talking about just the usa. We are one human family imo.

Yea. And after all you have already one good step. Obamacare. But that is just a babys first wabbling step.

This is correct,. the taxing of the 1% is needed, however it is a small issue compared to the actual problem of the monetary system itself.

40% of every dollar you spend is skimmed by interest payments to the private bankers. These bankers get an endless supply of 'free money', they use this power to warp and corrupt the system, to make more theft easier for them to perpetuate. It is a feedback loop of wealth removal from the many to the few. Taxing the 1% does not address this. Money needs to be fully redesigned and reality needs to be taken into account. Currently the only thing money/capitalism accounts for is itself and the profits it takes. No accounting for the true costs to people and the planet that we are a part of. Without a revolutionary change to the monetary system, the system of the world will collapse. Period.
