Banks = bad lol. Particularly the Fed.

I figured half an hour wasn't long, compared to recent Zeitgeist movie of 2 hours and 40 minutes lol.

you are born (tax deduction for your parents)
you go through school, get a job (pay the taxes your parents saved by having you)
you fall in love and get married (marriage tax break)
have children (the cycle seems to repeat itself)
you die (pay taxes to the state and federal government)
repeat

Oh yes, Banks = VERY BAD, hence why I have never had a bank account and probably never will.

It's basically saying that we are slaves forever indebted to an unfair system. But enough of me, I explain things badly. I prefer people to watch, it isn't a bad movie lol.

Basically at times we are merely slaves without chains. That is the illusion shown to some to prove that we are truly free in this nation or any other for that matter.

My bank is awesome at giving me interest to keep my money in it. Never, ever had a problem with them.


So, what, do you guys not save money or?

I suppose it is ones choice to be "paranoid"...



...but more often then not it would seem as if that "paranoia" leads to the truth about certain things.

if you look into the history of fractional reserve banking, this video has it pretty spot on.

Interest paid for by other people.



A frightening large percentage of the world aren't in any position to save.

lol do you really need a BANK to save your money? What happened to just putting it away and not spending it?

that's actually a very good point.

I'm not in a position to save anything right now, but soon I should be, and I'll be buggered if I'm putting it in a bank.

yeah maybe if you're in a 3d world country.

almost anyone can make a bank account.

when I say not in a position to save, I'm talking about financially. Of course anyone can open a bank account, but I'm afraid the reality is that VERY few people earn enough to live off, let alone put aside.
