Most of you have heard the one about the frog in the pot
of water that the temperature is slowing rising. Since it is gradual he doesn't
really notice until he is cooked. Perhaps that is what we have allowed to be
done to ourselves.
Lets look at it like the child we've turned into pack mules on their way to
school.
Back in the sixties when America was a free country we had a job that was
called, "loading watermelons". What you did was go out into a field,
pick watermelons and you ended up loading them into a truck for market. It was
much like any job one might do starting out in the work force. It was hard work
then as watermelons are heavy. Specially after handing them over and over until
the truck was loaded. On the other hand it was easier then than today. Today
you go into the field with the weight of the world on your shoulders before you
even bend that first time. Let me show you in dollars.
Back then the job paid about $1.50 an hour.
Today the act of the labor is still the same and should be equal to $1.50 and
hour but we are not being paid that.
Figuring in inflation the $1.50 an hour would be equal to $35.00 an hour now.
I'm not sure how many jobs there are now that pay unskilled people starting out
that much an hour. The thing that hasn't change is the act of loading the
watermelons. That act is still what it is. Being paid a rate of $7.50 and
hour which I'm thinking is about minimum wage would mean that $35.00 minus
$7.50 shows you carrying a burden of socialism of 27.50 an hour. That is
what every man women and child are burdened with now before they ever get into
the field and bend over.
We've got to carry that burden because it has already been spent!
We've got to carry that burden because it has already been spent!
We've got to carry that burden because it has already been spent!
Is it any wonder why we have been suffering with our economies?
Let me show you how this burden is being loaded on us a twig at a time.
Maybe this will help make the danger of fiat money clear.
Imagine you and me are setting across from each other. We create enough money
to represent all of the world's wealth. Each one of us has one SUPER Dollar in
front of him.
You own half of everything and so do I.
I'm the government though. I get bribed into creating a Central Bank.
You're not doing what I want you to be doing so I print up myself eight more
SUPER Dollars to manipulate you with.
All of a sudden your SUPER Dollar only represents one tenth of the wealth of
the world!
That isn't the only thing though. You need to get busy and get to work because
YOU'VE BEEN STIFFED with the bill for the money I PRINTED UP to get YOU TO DO
what I WANTED.
That to me represents what has been happening to the economy, and us, and why
so many of our occupations just can't keep up with the fake money presses.
When I first re-noticed fiat money it seemed clear that our government was
using the central bank as we do our own credit cards. Every time they spent
money they didn't have it devalues the hard earned money the people have. Then
it got me wondering if the central banks were printing up fake money themselves
and devaluing our currency. It didn't take long to get the answer thanks to Ron
Paul and some of his friends. Here is a story of the central bank bailing our
other failed socialist countries.

Here is a chart to give you and idea of the amount of the load that has been
trust upon us over the years.

The little bumps are earlier times of war when we printed fiat money to finance
them. We withdrew it out of the system and the value of the money returned to
something you could bank on.
Earlier I stated that the value of the $1.50 was equal to about $35.00 today. I
used this silver and gold calculator to figure that. It can be found here.

child starting out in any occupation today is saddled with a burden to be
reckoned with.
