Again, it fails becasue the economy has a usury based monetary system that creates these problems both socially and psychologically. A sovereign money system is “positive money” issued by government (like the Bradbury Pound) without incurring any debt as opposed to our current system of “negative money,” money issued by banks as interest bearing debt for profit which is usury. Usury; the abuse of monetary authority for personal gain. All the great religions and great philosophers condemned it because they understood its effects. As Dante’ noted, usury is “an extraordinarily efficient form of violence by which one does the most damage with the least effort.” Dante’ put usurers in the lowest sub-circle of hell. There is a growing body of research showing the negative psychological effects of this usury-money on people and society.

It is time for us to create democracy and end the usurious oligarchic rule humanity has suffered under for so many centuries. The most vital prerogative of a democratic government is to issue the money, if it does not then it is controlled by those who do and is not a democracy. We know this, right?

Everyone needs to know that democracy is more than voting, it is voting on how to spend the public‘s money. With all the tech we have today a blockchain direct democracy seems possible technically, all the issues with climate and poverty are easy to fix technically with public money power. The problem is political. We need to vote en masse against the “Money Party’s” candidate campaigns, vote against the media, vote against the banks behind it all and vote for an ethical President and Congress who will change the money.
