Most people really don't understand where they fit in society, so I am here to help you figure that out. Simply put, if the government passes laws in your favor, they like you, if they pass laws that are not in your favor, well, then they don't.
So it;s best to look at what you are told versus what actually is real to help determine where you fit. Let's looks at the old adage of how gold is apparently tied to inflation. Meaning that if inflation rises, so does price of gold. This used to be the rule when our currency was locked to how much gold we had. Well, it;s not anymore, the value of our currency is tied to something else now. YOU!
You are the new walking, talking, working, tax paying gold bar. If this country gets into debt, the repayment is promised on your back not theirs.
Think of it this way, lets imagine you are China, and you have a trillion dollars you want to invest. you advertise to the world and say "Who wants my money?" Then the USA says "I do!" Then China replies "How are you going to pay me back?" Then the USA says "With all these citizens I have."
This is how the game works. all day every day. The only difference between now and then, was that when the government got into debt, they had gold not you, to pay the debt back with.
So our currency is "Fiat" currency. Fiat currency is Faith currency. Faith that the citizens will pay back the bond that their government writes and sells on the international market. The interest on the bond is directly related to the "Faith" of the buyer. For example, if you want to buy a Japanese or a Greece bond, but you don't have much "Faith" they will pay you back, you may require a higher interest rate.
So, the more debt a country gets into, the less "Faith" another investor has that their investment will be paid back so the higher the interest rate gets placed on the bond. The higher the interest rate the higher the taxes you pay.
How can you fix this? Force the government to stop pimping you out to the rest of the world through the bond market. Encourage your local congressman or congresswoman to reduce government spending and pay back the debt with the budget surplus.
Tell them that you are aware you are the new gold bar and wont pay the debt they get into anymore.
