    Money is debt. The banking system and currency is designed to create debt. When there is money there is debt. Debt will never, ever be paid off while currency in it's current form still exists.

    Money was born from masons turned bankers who realised they could hand out paper 'I owe you's' for twice, five, ten times the value of the physical coin that those papers represented. The whole system is built to keep the masses in debt and the bankers rich.

    I'm sure I'm stating the obvious to some, but for any kind of bright future, the whole monetary system has to be abolished...
