"**Why, in America: where the roads are already paved, the crops are already sewn, the schools are already built and the factories are already tooled... why does it get harder and harder and harder for every subsequent American generation?**"

I came up with this at 15, well before any noticing or awakening was happening in my life. I could *"feel"* the america I was growing up in.

To this day, not one single person has been able to answer this question intelligently or honestly. It stumps 100% of the people I ask it to, whether in heated argument or casual conversation.

Use and enjoy.

The answer is fiat currency, which enables a financial rentier class that is as bad if not worse than the aristocracy.

Markets cannot really exist when the foundational market of all markets (i.e. cost of money) is a controlled and regulated system.

You can tell because the generations of people close to the fiat source are *not* worse off than previous generations. They are way, way, way better off.

I mean, it's basically mostly jews, but the instrument is usury done in a complicated way through fiat debt-based currency.

Usury is a very powerful and evil instrument. When Christendom outlawed usury it should have been absolutely outlawed for everyone, and anyone practicing it should have been put to death.

We just wouldn't have "central bankers" or Rothschild or even world wars if our leaders hadn't been seduced by the allure of "easy" money to solve short-term problems.

One of the aspects of Islam I can respect. I'm a Christian, but Islam definitely is doing some things really well

Fiat currency by itself isn't a huge issue; as prices go up so do people charge for their services. The people running the printing press get to skim a large amount of money, but the market adjusts so that it's just another tax.
