Money is said to be "the root of all evil." This is arguably the truest statement ever uttered. There is no doubt that money can bring out the worst in a person. In its smallest value it can turn friends into bitter enemies, break up marriages, and destroy lives. However, if you were to observe our society and its insatiable thirst for this so called evil resource the beginning statement would seem like a myth. In general we are all on a "paper chase." it costs money to live in this world and we Americans seem to do anything for a dollar. Of course it’s nice to be financially stable, and in this day in age we need at least enough money to maintain a peace of mind and support our families, but where do we draw the line? The reason money is a common denominator is because it keeps us in constant conflict with each other trying to obtain this resource that we can never get enough of. A resource so regulated that there literally isn't enough for everyone to break even. If you ask me the way the system is set up it seems as though it is built to fail. So many people are enslaved to the monetary system and don’t even understand its ironic outcome. They are blind to the fact that our country thrives off of debt and that there would be no upper class if there wasn't a lower class. The system is designed to keep the majority of the people in debt and slaves to their jobs. This can be illustrated in a simple application. Say the government barrows 750 million from the federal bank to stimulate the economy. it barrows this money at some interest rate to make all sort of loans to the American people, of course, with interest attached. Well, if the 750 million is the total amount of money we have in our economy how are we expected to acquire all of that money PLUS interest to pay back to the government if that was all we had from the jump? This is where the intangible money comes into play. This is formally known as credit which is used to help you climb further into the whole do to impulse and future buying behaviors.
The monetary system is structured and regulated by people at the tip top of the social chain. It’s almost like a game of musical chairs. There are never enough seats for everyone in the game. When the music stops people will push, shove, kick, and cut you to stay in the game and that’s the whole idea. There just isn't enough to go around and it causes the people at the bottom to stay in constant conflict and competition scuffling over the pennies left over in the economy just to rake in enough money to survive for one more month. The monetary system has one of the tightest grips on our society. It is truly the new form of slavery except it doesn't discriminate on color. The only thing about the new slavery is that you have to earn your own keeps. No longer does the master have to clothe and feed you. You are responsible to get out and make due for yourself and your family and if you don't nobody cares because we are too individualized and aren’t willing to help one another.
