Looking at money in the simplest view, it is a sort of ticket saying, “My owner has contributed to society a certain amount, so for what he has contributed to others, it is your turn to contribute to him.” And whoever contribute to him has thus contributed to society, and now has the mark of contribution.

Commercial farms have a HUGE surplus of food. There is no way the owners and workers of the farm could consume all that food. So, they contribute what they don’t need to society, in return the get the contribution marks, or the dollar. Imagine a T.V. company, who’s CEO just had some eggs from that farm for breakfast. That CEO has a HUGE surplus of TV’s. That farmer could say “Hey TV company, look! I have contributed this much food to society, in return, it is your turn to contribute to me (a member of society) a new TV for my family.

Obviously, things become a lot more complex as greed and distribution of money comes into play, but in a basic sense, money drives the world to cooperate with each other, and I think without this drive, the world would not be as advanced as it is today.

In conjunction with the monetary system is the system of taxation. Tax can be taken at consumption and, far more insidious, as a graduated percentage of income. Taxation is the only way the monetary system can be held in balance for the majority of the civilization’s population.

There is another aspect of control which can go unnoticed but it is actually the foundation of the monetary system. This foundation is called Debt. Money is no longer based on something tangible like Gold or silver or any other precious metals. No, money is now created out of thin air based upon someone’s promise to pay back that debt at some point.

Things get even more complicated when one considers the fractional reserve system where by the money that was created out of thin air and then deposited into a bank account as payment for let’s say an automobile is then loaned out again leaving behind only a fraction in reserve. And the fractional cycle repeats many times, like 9 to 1, from the original out of thin air money.

As long as everyone “plays along” the game of monetary musical chairs goes on. The real question we should be asking is… who are the masters above and beyond the system of money? One can start by looking at the cabal of international bankers who run the so called “Federal Reserve”. (The Federal Reserve is no more Federal than Federal Express.)

A lot of people think money solves everything, but then they haven’t looked at the exact figures when it comes to a lottery payout. Let me finish school and get an entry level, stable, career and it would be worth more than winning the lottery, figuratively and realistically.

Money is a gift from God to me to be a steward. All the money that passes through my hands is not my own, and I have the privilege of giving away at least 10% to charities.
