..which brings us to the real definition of rich, and one of the reasons money was even invented in the first place: to cure the problem of stress. early man had no money and, hence, plenty of stress. he had to hunt his own game, build his own tent, break his own horses, carry his own water, and defend himself against the barbarian hordes - every single day. freakin' stressful. so man invented money, which allowed him to pay butchers, roofers, auto mechanics, plumbers and divorce attorneys to do all these things for him. money releived the stress caused by the battle to survive.
or at least it was supposed to. but at some point we forgot that money was created to relieve stress, and instead began to see money as a source of stress. like junkies, we turned a trifle invented for relaxation into a personal slave driver. we began to plot and plan and scheme about how to gain more of it. we began to measure our worth as men in monetary terms, a brutal and unforgiving game (especially since most of us start the game from the first tee but still have to compete with those who were born on the 18th green).
That's a big assumption to make, that early man were stressed out. Sure, it would've been tough.. but stressful, who can say for sure! Look at any tribal/family-based society and the duties expected of people and you'll see they are relatively happy with themselves. Perhaps not every individual, but there's no denying that an agarian resource-based economy is a lot more laid-back than the Western rat-race.
It's interesting, even early America was founded by colonists printing their own money and it wasn't until the Rothschilds' takeover of America (along with the Rockefellers) that the mad obsession with chasing the dollar spiraled out of control. It was Mayer Rothschild whom said in 1790: "Let me issue and control a nation's money and I care not who writes the laws." They cleverly started a false rumour regarding the Battle of Waterloo to crash the British stock market and took over the Bank of England. Some American presidents were killed for fighting the Rothschilds agendas, beginning with Abraham Lincoln. In 1881, President James A. Garfield stated two weeks before he was assassinated:
“Whoever controls the volume of money in our country is absolute master of all industry and commerce…and when you realize that the entire system is very easily controlled, one way or another, by a few powerful men at the top, you will not have to be told how periods of inflation and depression originate.”Their masterstroke was in 1913, ushering in the Federal Reserve Act while most congressmen were on Christmas vacation. The Rothschilds now had complete control of the American government finances, and hence total world domination now within their grasp. The irony is, the Federal Reserve is neither federal (it is privately owned by the Rothschilds), nor does it have any reserves. Fractional reserve banking is why powerful elites have everything, and the rest of us have nothing (well, some of us feel like we have *some* security, yet as shown by this thread, still feel hollow, cheated and dissatisfied by the system).
This is a GREAT page on the history of the Rothschilds, laid out on an easy-to-read timeline, and tells us the TRUE history of the last couple of hundred years on this planet. -
http://www.iamthewitness.com/DarylBradfordSmith_Rothschild.htm - it's a good one to bookmark and keep coming back to.. passing it on to anyone searching for answers as to why the world is imploding financially.. as well as emotionally and spiritually - the worship of 'money' (avarice, as they say in the Bible) is the root of all evil, and it's so true. Many of us are finally realising this.. it's like a giant wall coming down and a huge wake-up call too.
I think the current financial system as it stands (fractional reserve, people profiting off 'invisible dollars' in the bond markets, speculators, compound interest - all of this which I think is fraudulent and has no place in ANY society) needs to be killed off.
So what do we replace it with? There's a documentary 'Zeitgeist: Addendum' which refers to The Venus Project which visualises a resource-based utopia where we already have everything we need in abundance, because of free energy technologies that have held us back for the last hundred years (Nikola Tesla had technology that produced energy from thin air like pulling in radio waves, only to have his work dismantled and destroyed by the likes of JP Morgan, Thomas Edison, Henry Ford, Westinghouse, Albert Einstein, the Rockefellers - all these big names rallying against him to protect their big oil industries - otherwise they would suddenly lose the ability to charge every person and every industry for electricity/fuel use.).
Most people also don't realise that our ability to earn and function in society has been deliberately compromised by certain agendas introduced by the likes of the Rockefellers in the guise of a 'noble and a just cause'. One of them being the rise of feminism and women's rights movement. Sounds good, right? Sounds fair? I used to think
'yeah - right on!' UNTIL, I watched an interview on YouTube featuring the late Aaron Russo talking about something Nick Rockefeller said to him. He said that they funded the feminist movement for two reasons:
1) To instantly double the tax take for government coffers. They can now tax the women as well as the working men!
2) To make the family unit now dependent on government rather than on themselves. To destroy the family unit - to give them ultimate control over the individual.
You can now see the effects of this agenda. We now need 2 incomes in a household just to survive, whereas it used to be just the man, while the mother stayed at home and looked after the children. Some women pursued a career (and that's good!), but in general, that was the way it was.. and it worked as a system! Now we have children put in childcare being looked after by strangers, that hardly see their parents because they're both working all day, or the stresses of this 'higher agenda' has split them apart, and now dependent on welfare - which is EXACTLY what the elites wanted. We are all dependent on the government, and the banks - we have no individual control anymore - it's all been leveraged away from us.
These elites haven't been working hard.. they've been working
SMART! 
But I think this system as we know it is on its last legs. Our modern economy is geared around consumption loops - and if people no longer are buying, then they have no choice but to keep throwing more and more money into the system, creating more debt and dependency. But it's now got to the stage where people are struggling to survive, or enjoy life, even with all the credit being dished out everywhere. And with Monsanto owning all the seed patents, they can artificially create food shortages like money can be manipulated via controlled booms and recessions. More people are beginning to see through the veil now, and it could all come crashing down. Every day there's a debt crisis somewhere in the world. They can't just keep bailing countries out. The buck has to stop somewhere. I hope it does. Rip that band-aid off quick and get it over with! It will bleed a bit initially, but it will heal quicker in the long run with some fresh air around it!
