in the larger context, we have become a society that is wholly dependent on the banking system and our "understanding" of money...the idea is we "produce" for the banksters paper coupons...and they reap the rewards of our labors.
but once you wipe away the facade of what's going on, very few americans are creating/producing anything vital for our survival.
just look at our manufacturing sector...what are we "producing" here in america?
