@Graylan | gray00 Isn't that what is called a non sequitur?
You care so much about your money
Don't you care it's worth nothing?
It's printed from debt and we owe back more than 100%
I care about private property is what the money I earn is. I don't like being forced to give it up to support addicts.
That's fake currency if it's Fiat.
Not backed by shit.
You don't want to support addicts?
If you don't want to support addict why do you give all the free Coke money to Wall Street
@Graylan | gray00 It is backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. which is backed by the sum total of the assets of every citizen. So, no it is not based upon "nothing."
By accepting USD enslavement?
The USA is worse than bankrupt .
LMFAO. Assets. What assets?
Don't you get it we owe MORE than all assets and future earnings.
@Paradox No, I don't believe anyone you uses drugs or even drinks alcohol should be able to receive welfare. I'd prefer addicts be treated by private charities like they were for all the time before the "welfare" state.
If your fiat is so secure why is this number climbing..
@Graylan | gray00 It is a flawed system but it works better than any other.
Lol flawed system. Not it's a time bomb.
It will fail.
@Graylan | gray00 It might fail. But nobody has implemented a better system anywhere else or at any other time in history. So, what are you suggesting?
Our system is already built.
It requires no third party in-between
Unlike Fiat. Most fiat is digital and is manipulated. Ask Trump about China.
So you realized USD was backed by gold right @CasualSailor?
@Paradox If it is a tax then it is separating the citizen from his property by force. I'm against that except for the primary functions of government like national defense, police, courts, and some public works. I'm also ok with assessing taxes for those things where individuals cannot recover via the courts for the actions of others.
So now it's worth less unbacked currency. The only reason it still has value is because the internet hasn't destroyed it yet.
@Graylan | gray00 Yes. I'm fine with you wanting to complain about the current system. I'm just curious if you have a example of a better one?
Soon as people find out it's worthless. It will tank.
@CasualSailor steem is better. Also has democracy . True democracy in the block chain.
We don't even have that in usa
:)
**pilferer#6570** just left the server.
A tax isn't separating the citizen from his property by force. Threat of force, perhaps, but even then not in all cases. Take sales tax, who is forcing you to pay that tax? The government? The business?
@CasualSailor every day I built the future.
So yeah. I can complain about today's shit.
Im building our replacement
@Paradox Yes it is. All gov't is backed by force. That is why we have gov'ts. We provide them with the exclusive right to use force.
Back by, but not always applied.
but you evaded the question.
