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?
