Money is not evil, it is a mental construct that can be used to represent anything we choose to represent with it. The money banks create mean nothing because banks themselves are a mental construct. The money that matters is the money we create by trusting one another that our money is worth something. Tylor, you missed the point of my article.

It's underlying attempt at converting a trade service to something else was brilliant. However, since national banks started taking control and giving out "loans" to certain people for IOU slips of paper, we have fallen. We have debt that can never be payed off even if everyone gave all of our money to do so (interest). Money is constantly being made and for each dollar made the value decreases. This causing you to need more and more crippling and constantly changing the values of goods. Since no one is willing to stand up to these banks and no one could in the past, not even the president (thanks so much for the efforts Andrew Jackson), they are free to reign havoc on our current system. Why had we not heeded the warnings when our forefathers foretold of what would happen if the national bank system took power? We need to create a whole new system, one that doesn't solely involve the hands of the national banking system (ie all money either flows from national banks, who could set interest rates to payment plans to whatever they feel like, or is produced illegally). Honestly, I wish more money would get counterfeited because then we could have more money in our system without it's value going down. Let's re-evaluate greenbacks and how to combine them with the best system we ever had, service trade. Money is the worst thing we have done to society.
