Gold. The real money. Goes to "Banker" to "Safe", for safe keeping. Banker issues an I.O.U. You take the I.O.U., trade it to a friend for said value of I.O.U. in gold. Couple generations later they start calling I.O.U.'s money. You don't know any better. You trust the government. All the while your real money, gold; disappears from the bank.
The result of this:
Every "Dollar" you spend thinking it's money, pushes you further in dept. In short, the more fake money I.O.U.'s you spend, the more you actually owe. Not aquire. Not unless you're paying the I.R.S. in gold.
And, I doubt you are. I bet you're one of those people that think you're free and clear of rent and own things, too. Let's say you don't pay taxes on your house, car, boat, or anything that requires such tax yearly...Let's see if the I.R.S. doesn't cone take it because you didn't pay you're LIFE rent. Oh, and just ask the Bundy Ranch in Texas how uncle Sam is about " land grabbing " policies.
So why not, let's slave everyday for paper I.O.U.'s that bring the next ten generations further into dept based on a fictional dream that we own something and are free.
