(27,137 posts)The capitalistic monetary system we live under can't serve the people and it can't be made to do so because it is inherently flawed. It will work tolerably well in the beginning when there is plenty to go around for everyone. But that is not the case anymore as everyone knows.
Capitalist systems don't survive because the greed of the (all) participants overwhelms it in the end. It corrupts even its victims the same way one's own cells can become cancerous and kill its host.
And fiat monetary systems such as we have, are nothing less than a Ponzi Scheme of the first water. It's considered a legal practice only because the government is the one operating it, ostensibly for the ''public good.'' Right.
Unless and until enough people finally realized that they cannot make this flawed, corrupted, capitalist system do what they want it to do, and abandon it entirely, then we may have some reason for hope.
However, if we remain stoically by supporting it, albeit with our eyes closed to the truth all around us then whatever happens later, we will surely deserve. But not our children. It will be ''we'' who have condemned them to poverty and probably worse, because they had no choice in the matter. We do.
- If we continue to succumb to our fears of change, then they'll have even fewer choices later......
