    money is the stupidest thing on EARTH
    lets play HISTORY 101

    1500-1600s, we were in ENGLAND we said YOU SUCK KING WE'RE LEAVING PEACE OUT and we left to find NEW LAND
    we landed on PLYMOUTH ROCK MASSACHUSETTS just 200 of us.

    WHERE WAS MONEY?
    oh yah, NON-EXISTENT!!!!
    we SURVIVED cold winters, animal attacks, DISEASE how did we do this???
    BY STICKING TOGETHER!!!!!!!!!!

    MONEY didnt save us, HUMANS HELPING HUMANS STICKING TOGETHER WHEN OTHERS HAD ROUGH TIMES
    we MUST revert to this OLD WAY where WE SHARE EVERYTHING advanced with one another, think about it, if we ALL had THE SAME THINGS (3d tv's / ferrarri's / boats / houses / whatever) think of all the problems THAT GO AWAY and we can collectively work toward fixing more advanced problems!!!! no crime, no war, no pointless killings!!!!

    MONEY = EVIL

    What? This really makes no sense.

    First, sharing everything is a beautiful idea, but it's not practical. Communism has shown not to be an effective way to run a country. But that is ideological thing, so if you think it would be better, I won't argue too much on that point.

    But the statement that we should have no money is just down right rediculous. Having no money would make getting what you need a bit tough, don't you think? The barter system has it's limitations. Maybe in a group of 200 people you can get away with it, but our country has more people than that. The funniest thing is the thought that if we didn't have money we'd all have 3d tvs, ferrarri's, houses, and boats. How would that happen?

    here are some of my thoughts:

    everything gets squirrelly once population gets too large to live under the tribal system. money itself is a great idea, its the evolution of bartering for sure, but once the size of your group gets so big that people start claiming ownership of things other than food which you can't stockpile rather than thinking of it belonging to everyone. i think problems also arise because it becomes so difficult for an individual to make decisions that is best for them and the group since its much tougher to actually know everyone on a personal level and truly care about their well-being. you would probably feel much stronger about poverty if family or friends were poor versus someone they don't know at all.

    The main thing that I have gotten out of movies like this one and the Money Masters is that 95% of the money supply is legally counterfeited by the banking system and the other 5% is illegally borrowed into existence by the government from the Federal Reserve Bank (America's central bank) on which we have to pay interest instead of created by Congress free of interest as the Constitution says.
