$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Roccland', 'W')hat prevents The American People from deciding to go on a general "debt paying strike", flatly refusing to pay any principle or interest to any creditor, all of which are directly and indirectly your banking buddies, until you leave and we get someone responsible to take your job?
Comfort. Complacence. Order. These are the things preventing Americans from bringing down the banking system. I'd love to see a world where everyone gives up on debt repayment -- instant fast crash. Problem is, this consumerist chattel of a populace are fed, clothed, sheltered, and entertained by the inescapable debt system. It's a form of slavery that people have tolerated for so long that they don't even notice it.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Nicolo Machiavelli', 'T')herefore a wise lord cannot, nor ought he to, keep faith when such observance may be turned against him, and when the reasons that caused him to pledge it exist no longer. If men were entirely good this precept would not hold, but because they are bad, and will not keep faith with you, you too are not bound to observe it with them.-The Prince, chapter 18
