America claims to be the land of the free , but this is only an idea and not a truth. We are told from our school days that "...all men are created equal..." but this is not true. We are told that caste systems are ideas of the past or of lesser countries, but this is also a lie. The truth is that America is a Capitalist Nation, and we are enslaved and happy about it!
Our goals in life center around our ability to make money. We go to college to make more money, hopefully doing something we don't absolutely hate. We play the lottery obsessively to obtain more money. If we think about it, in our immediate lives, our value to our country is our ability to stimulate the economy. If we are homeless or refuse to work a job, we are labeled a 'problem' or 'bum.' Capitalism has no room for idealists, money cannot be hindered by morality.America is full of non-profit organizations and charities, so how can it be said that money has no room for ethics? It's easy, for every person, you and me, what do we do with our lives? Do we work everyday for something which is important to us, which our hearts tells us is right, or do we work for a company that pays our bills and allows us to survive? Ask the average person on the street about what they Care about, how many of them will tell you something other than what they do for a living.
A "FREE" society should not be mandated slavery with legal forms which allow you to apply for freedom, as long as you get approval from a bank. Freedom is the ability to buy your home and earn it, the ability to grow your own food, live in your own land, work for something and reap the consequences of that work. Freedom is the ability to live at your own discretion and uphold the things you believe are right, and then learn in truth what IS right by your mistakes.
We live in houses owned by our banks, we cannot build structures because of building codes. After the banks, we pay taxes, which tells us that our property belongs to our country first, then ourselves. In feudal society, this is acceptable, in a republic or a democracy, this is not.
Money is necessary to supply all of our most basic needs, therefore money is the god of our Capitalist nation. We are required forty hours a week of worship in the temples of our God so that we may be blessed with shelter, clothing and food. At the end of the day we are spiritually empty, because this god is not alive, but luckily money gave us our big screen and cable to keep ourselves occupied while we wait to go to work tomorrow.
It is no wonder to me why the Bohemians have to go away for a club vacation, money requires us to be heartless and inhuman. It has no mercy for how we feel and requires us to be the same way. Bohemian Grove seems like a place for the wealthy to go to remember what it feels like to be human.

this post was just confusing diatribe!

I have alot of strong feelings about how money destroys people. I've come to realize our freedom in this country begins and ends at the bank.
My point is that we cannot recieve for ourselves those things which are neccesary for survival, like food, shelter, and clothing, without money. This means that we are trapped by the confines of finance, and so we are not free.
