You are the jailed and the jailor.
Debts
are the chains of modern slavery. We are conditioned to want
debt and to use it every day. Every mailing, every piece of
spam, on TV, radio, the bus, on the side of the bus, on the
top of the pizza delivery car, we are pushed to want things,
and we are pushed to by them on credit. Easy credit, instant
credit, why wait? Don't you feel so bad without that new thing,
or aren't you guilty that you haven't bought EVERYTHING to
give your child an edge in life. And look, for just a few
percent on the dollar you can have the money now against
your future earnings.
This was
called indentured servitude in the 1700s and considered unusual
and cruel. And today we carry around our debt, our chains
and bemoan every catching up, in the richest country in the
world, one of the fastest growing businesses is loan consolidation
and credit repair.
Debt is
the worst drug for the individual but the BEST drug for the
society. It stimulates captalism, it makes jobs, and best
yet it keeps you going to your job everyday. You are the jailed
and you are the jailor. Prozac is cheap, and antibiotics are
expensive, why? |
