I would follow it differently. I wud ask how did this debt skam begin. in the USA it began in 1913 when the constitution was amended to allow a central bank...the federal reserve.. and established income tax for the first time.
several times before the bankers had gotten central banks into the american economy but every previous time it was repealed, defeated. they got their amendment in 1913 that made it permanent..at least for 102 years up to now and running
the federal reserve issues money at interest..debt.. to the government to meet its expenses. prior to that the government in principle, simply printed the currency to use for infrastructure development at no interest to itself and to the nation.
what they did was to privatize the currency by giving it to a private bank to re-lend to the goverment at interest. and to pay the interest income tax was legislated to pay the interest on the debt.
that is the free lunch for the capitalist at the heart of international economics. it is theft writ large, a system in place that eventually impoverishes nations..now at the point of impoverishing the whole world.
it is like this: the banks becomes the house or the Casa in a/the gamble. the economy goes on and the banks achieve total control of it with control of the currency. they can do what they wish with the economy..by nation state and now globally..they can boom it by increasing inflationary liquidity or bust it by withdrawing same.
but the principle is that of Casa in a/the gamble...the HOUSE!
10 thousand people go to woodbine race track on opening day. by midnight they tally up everything. on average every one of those 10 thousand brought 10 dollars..total 100 thousand dollars. woodbine entertainment is the house or Casa. they tax everyone of the races that is run.. 10 of them.. at an average of 15%. if we divide 100k by 10 we get 10k less 20% which is 2k. by the end of the day the house has taken 20k of the 100k that came to the track
for those who were losing the total money they can win back decreases with every pool/race, by the house take. and if the bettors do not find a way to replenish their pockets and only the remnant of the original 100k that cane in first day remained to the bettors, it would take 5 days for them to be completely broke even if they won some bets..because the house would have collected it all..regardless... due to the taxes on the races.
the house cant lose. only the bettors can and will, due to the taxes on the races. the only chance bettors have is to win all and every bet they make and leave the track and go do something with it. just don't lose bets..and when one wins don't stay at the track.
that is the economy. by the privatizing of the currency into the hands of the bankers..the bankers become the Casa of the economy and taxes it to death by debt and income taxes..and service charges. and at a certain point no matter how much the economy expands the house depredations on the economy begins to overbalance in their favor..that is their take surpasses the take of others and ultimately concentrates the greatest portion of the wealth created every year in their hands.
this is accomplished in many taxing ways: inflation is one that allows the banks to steal even more. they can print money out of thin air for themselves with which to buy up property. that money debases the currency but transfers hard wealth into their hands, which is worthwhile even at half their value... which is what inflation achieves...the reduction of value but the transfer of the remaining value to the thieves
business practices also are theft and reduces the rate of profit..for the express purpose of not paying taxes. depreciation is a classic example.
depreciate a property for 5 years then sell it to a numbered company that is yours then depreciate all over again. do not take your profits as income but under an array of flows that are taxed less..like stock options, bonuses etc. retained corporate earnings are not taxed if they retained earnings. by the time corporations are done their are little or no profits to declare for taxation purposes...hence the principle of the falling rate of profit
corporations pay no taxes equal to their profitability and assists the accumulation of wealth/concentration of wealth by the banks or 1%.. which are all corporations too.
actual gross profits do not in fact fact fall. it is what the capitalist does with the money internally, how he designates it that cause the expressed rates on balance sheets to fluctuate in downward trends from year to year...the falling rate of profit and income taxes...that ultimately require more debt by everyone outside the capitalists else to meet their current needs
the system then is one in which by steady taxation/inflation/service charges/falling rates of profit on the wealth produced every year, super profit is concentrated in few hands no matter what the people do. it is a no win situation for the people and win win for the capitalist as with their money they buy out the system completely, change all the laws to suit capitalist parasitism they sell to us THE FREE MARKET IN WHICH THERE ARE NO FREE LUNCHES.
BUT THAT IS THE BIGGEST LIE IN THE UNIVERSE. CAPITALISM IS PARASITISM AND THE ULTIMATE FREE LUNCH. THEY ARE PARASITES THAT SELL A LIE AS TRUTH TO FACILITATE THEIR ABSOLUTE FREE LUNCH/PLUNDER OF THE PEOPLE OF THE PLANET.
a point is arrived at when the balance point is passed between wealth in the hands of the people in favor of the banks/1%... the process picks up speed against the people and arrives at where we are currently. last year I believe the figures exposed that of the 100% of profits declared last financial year, 95% or so went to the 1%.
so how do the people live...by incurring more debt and giving up all the social progress that has been achieved by society to this date. all democratic constitutions are eviscerated/all democratic labour law is turned back to ancient times/social safety nets are destroyed and the people return to stone age social relations..all to create margins to allow surpluses to pay interest on debt which no matter what will arrive at 100% confiscation of workers return for their labour.
when that point is arrived at slavery of the worlds population, employed or unemployed would be complete...again. not more than a year or 2 away now
the people are beset by federal income taxes/property taxes/provincial-state taxes/inflation/vat or goods and services taxes/services tax like post office, drivers licences, birth certificates, passports and official papers we need from time to time etc. all of this is now privatized, given to the corporations for peppercorns, after years of income taxes to build up the infrastructure. and their prices have soared
dand there is much more too...including the infiltration of labour unions and legislation that hamstring labour unions that result in less pay for workers. so all combined labour/general purchasing power steadily falls and contributes all the time to concentration of wealth
the banker have bought out all of the economy. and as pointed out there must be expansion it turns to gobbling up the public sector. the capitalist need for expansion privatizes everything and life begins to look macabre. the human body is being privatized..alive and dead. dead human bodies are now harvested and used in all manner of production
by now the bankers are the creditors of everyone because the only way people can make ends meet is by using credit. so everyone has a credit card, or many, at usurious rates of interest..increasing the concentration of wealth.
so to make a long story shorter the system is extractive and when it passes balance point the extraction becomes like a reckless train speeding to 100% ownership of everything, by just a few people who own and control the system and we are all debt slaves to them. they now lend us all, the money we need to make ends meet. credit card debt, mortgages, bank interest charges on the accounts we set up,on all banking transactions we make...there is no where to turn to avoid charges as long as the system is in place.
privatization as expansion, means the conversion of the public services water,electricity, roads, bridges sewage etc to private ownership..all are privatized and prices of use skyrocket..another newer and major source of concentration.
there is one more crucial item on the list of impoverishment and it is the most important of all..technological advance that is eating up jobs in capitalism that makes the future very risky for all. as a result of technological advance people are no redundant for the capitalist and a major social problem he is trying to address by depopulation...the sever reduction of the number of people on planet earth.
the only way the human species can attain anything like full employment ever again is for the people to take over society and focus labour on the solution of social problems with the full utilization of the technological stage of the day employed. if that is done there is so much to do to solve the existential problems of society..and now the wealth do it by the removal of the capitalist, there will be full employment for some time into the future.
and of course control of the wealth would allow the people to transform from a working class into a developed class capable or taking humanity forward into a future that looks challenging indeed from this vantage
it is clear that the social debt..all of it ...cannot be repaid, and the system cannot work anymore. all the liquidity is soaked up into the coffers of the 1% by the extractive system in place..leaving us all in one hell of a problem that in principle or theory is easy to solve. it is indeed very easy to solve, in practice, and must be so solved NOW! by the rise of the people in revolutionary social change
the system in place that has ruined society is a fraud and a criminal enterprise that all the elites are in conspiracy to keep in place. this is global reality for in every state there is law that that establishes usury is illegal. the amendment to the American constitution that created the federal reserve was was accomplished by fraud..long since proven.
the systematic finances of global society is a criminal enterprise..it is extractive and a criminal conspiracy based on lies and plunder, looting and general lawlessness. as such all debt there is was illegally derived and need not be paid. also the fundamental law of society is the people in collective action doing what they deem right for society its survival and development...the basic law of nature, of human society is the people in social action and its creative product
the people have the right to revolutionize society..and if they rise and crash the whole show, arrest all the politicians and the !% , try and convict them, jail and hang all of then, and create a new way of life in the process..and that way stands then that becomes the law and must be recognized as law by the world.
to change the system, literally overnight is to repudiate the stupid loans, kill what they call the capitalist system which is nothing but lies and fraud and put the currency back into the hands of the people to be used by their administration at no interest for the development of the society. it is either that or society becomes Brave New World..descend into a capitalist nightmare of population management, engineering of people all manner of social lunacy, just so the absolutely bonkers and anti christ capitalists can keep their stolen wealth and control of society
that's it..nothing but that and the problems are over..and in 3 months society is profitable once more, the world at peace and developing global prosperity.
it is as simple as that..kill the loans and banking as a function of economy. banking is parasitic and not needed at all. it adds nothing but is a cost to the economy from the start..and it convinces us that we need it which is what all parasites do..make its host feel that it is absolutely needed, so that its host works to give it its free lunch.
arrest the political class that has facilitated this exploitation of the people over time..in collusion with the bankers. they are all traitors, criminals all of them..and to be humane, which they are not, give them fair trials and a fair sentencing hearings, before they are all hanged for treason. do the same with the military brass as the armies are disbanded and war..the major source of banking profit.. is put to its end by the democracy the people create
{ sorry for all the problems with this. I did it half asleep a few hours ago. I tried to spruce it up a bit but I am sure it still problematical. I will leave it up just in case it does say something}
