Below is a link to an article that shows the systematic games that are being used to steal from the less fortunate in our society. Take a peek down this rabbit hole.

Your tax dollars pay for some of this and it is a shame on us.

Inflation and interest are the biggest ways we steal from the poor. It's the whole point of our current economic pyramid and why the U.S.A. has financialized the majority of its economy. You use slow but steady inflation to de-value the dollar meanwhile those extra dollars (which were the cause of inflation) get sucked up to the top of the economy via interest on loans. This has the net effect of society gradually transferring all wealth to the elites at the top of the pyramid. Because while the poor retain the same raw dollar amounts as before, the Rich have now made the value represented by those dollars worthless by printing ridiculous sums of money and basically giving it to themselves for free by the banking system.

After all, the quantitative easing didn't make the banks loan more money, it just sat in their vaults or was passed around to other banks to pump up their balance sheets. Yet it was never actually made in the form of low or no interest loans to people or small businesses that needed it. All it did was enable the financial industry to continue operating as-is without taking a loss. So all of the inflation we suffered or will suffer thanks to the 2008 bailouts and secret Fed loans was entirely to keep the people at the top of the pyramid in the money by transferring the value held by the rest of the economy to their dollars via inflation.

Thanks spiritguide for posting this article.

I've been trying to keep up, with all the ways you can get jailed/poorer.

It isn't pretty to read. But this is the new world view/reality/order (the way things are)....whether we want it or not.
by self educating ourselves, with this forum, we help others avoid these newer more eviler pitfalls. keep it up.

We need to pull in the ranks (pull closer together) to ride this new animal call the 'USA of over taxation, over spending and over indulgence (from the wealthy) and over jailing/over penalizing'.

Of course the other side of this has its rewards....as now people come clamoring to me for information on how to succeed (in this new fire storm of hell called the USA government/institutions) and they listen more than they ever had (to all my weird 'conspiracy' theories).

The trick now is not to over due the 'theories', but keep it real.

No reason to push people so far they too become labeled 'lunatics'.
just don't want to give out information that is inaccurate because I too got caught up more in being right than accurate.

This forum is a good educational resource for contemporary information. Glad to see that you appreciate it's merits.
