| Anonymous Coward User ID: 24201435  Italy09/21/2012 08:11 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Naples on Thursday announced it was setting up a 70-million-euro ($91-million) gift card system -- the "Napo" -- which will function as a local currency aimed at boosting small businesses. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 24087657 "Napos" will be given to shopkeepers, tourists and residents who pay their taxes, entitling bearers to a 10-percent d-i-s-c-o-u-n-t for every 10 euros spent. "The Napo is a gesture of love for our city," Marco Esposito, a local official in charge of economic issues, told AFP in a phone interview. He said he hoped the system would "shake up an otherwise feeble economy." Prototypes for the new 1, 2, 5 and 10 "Napo" banknotes have been printed with images of the most picturesque sights of the southern Italian city. [link to uk.news.yahoo.com]  |

| optimusprimate User ID: 1323580  United Kingdom09/25/2012 10:33 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Its a fairly common thing actually, just a week or so ago Bristol,UK created a new local currency called the Bristol Pound, while a few years ago Hacney Bourgh Council,London,UK created the Hackney Pound. I doesn't mean the Euro is failing - although there are plenty of other things that point to that possibility - its just one way of boosting local businesses. Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able, and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him God? ~Epicurus 33 A.D I am being held down by four greys as i type this ~ Florence 2015 A.D |

| Anonymous Coward User ID: 24344804 United States09/25/2012 11:43 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | It's a lost cause. Have you also noticed that it all is based on if you have been paying into what is obviously a corrupt system or not. You can participate, as long as you have been paying taxes to the global bankers. As long as you have been paying into austerity for debt you didn't create, then you get a big whopping 10%!!!!!! Pay your taxes, pay your taxes, pay your taxes. There isn't enough money, or enough taxes in the world to fill the debt shit hole they've created. This is such a farce. |
