But when it is taken from our pockets and committed for a purpose then used by congress as their personal piggy bank, I have an issue!
If you carry your theory to it's extreme, every stock that is enriching the wealthy is just a piece of paper. Once people figure that out, the system will collapse.
Gold standard eliminated back in the early sixties. Now you know why.
This is also the reason I want to own my home free and clear asap, so they can't use a piece of paper to take it away from me if all hell breaks loose. Real estate. Given the way this country is going, we may be an agrarian economy sooner rather than later. Thank the pukes for their "End of Days" short-sidedness.
