Venezuela, Germany, Zimbabwe, and a lot of other places. Things aren't great in France, Greece, and Spain right now. We had our own Great Depression of the 1930's. Money was really hard to come by back then.

The thing is that most people are entirely dependent on the cash economy for their daily needs. That's especially so for people living in the city. They go work their job and use the money they've earned to buy everything they need to live.

In a way it's like being trapped in a cage. See .... the government takes a portion of your earnings in taxes. You've got no say over how much they take. If they take a small portion it's not so bad. When they take bigger and bigger portions you're left with less and less to live on.



That's what sucks. See ... currency inflation is an indirect hidden tax. If you want Obamacare -or- a powerful military all these things have to be paid for. The growing national debt has to be paid as well. It's coming out of your pocket and it doesn't matter if you're rich or poor.

When it gets to the point that they're taking more than half of what you make then you become a slave to the system.

Some people think that's the way it should be. They feel that most of what you make should go to the government.

It's something to think about .....

What do you think is right ? How much is too much ?
