Debt based currency keep us enslaved. I have come to the conclusion this is a known fact of the elites. The more civilization suffers debt and poverty, the more empowered the elite are...and they know. Others, tied to the system making a bundle of cash for their talents: Hollywood, musicians, sports, corporations, big pharm and their pushers, techies, etc.. know they need to have a class that will support them...debt slaves. Additionally, anyone that is connected to unions and federal/state workers will support big government in order to keep the cash flowing in. If you don't play by the controllers rules then they will ruin you. Bottom line, the cycle masterfully stays in place to ensure that debt currency society keeps the elite afloat.
