It Is Expensive to Be Poor

The problem isn't that a lot of people are bad at finance. The problem is that the finance industry has had a goal of clawing away every single dime that isn't nailed down as much and as fast as they can, for decades, using every unethical, shady, bullshit, and even illegal tactic they can get away with. Then if they get caught, they pay a fine, lobby and have regulations changed to suit their interests, and move on.

After a century of this, it's no surprise to me that the largest most well-equipped, staffed, furnished buildings in every city across the globe are BANKS.

BANKS can create credit out of thin air, then loan it to the world at interest. If you or I did that, we'd go to jail for counterfeiting.

This power that they have stolen and made legal is warfare against the non-banker class. We are at war, and losing, and not because we don't work hard, it's because we don't know that the enemy isn't ourselves, it's the thieves who promise to hold our money in safe keeping.

Think about it - no other group of people could go to the government and demand $700,000,000,000.00 of taxpayer money and give nothing in return other than the banks.

They are a parasite which has grown so large that they are killing the host.
