I guess the word "slave" is a pretty politically incorrect word to be using in these times.
I can see your point of view, but really its a pretty limited interpretation of the potential scenario that you painted.
I really thought that we would come to a place where we would not need to use money anymore and that everyone could just work for eachother for the betterment of everyone.
Societies seem to sink to the lowest common denominator, so basically as long as there are people who aren't willing to clean their own mess and would rather pay someone to do it, (and there are people who are willing to work for a slave wage because of whatever circumstances they think they are in (victim conciousness)), our societies will remain essentially lop-sided.
As long as the U.S. can just print cash to fix up their problems..... (someone please shoot me😀 )... tell you stuff like you live in a country that is free and not in one of those backward 2nd or 3rd world countries, you'll be right even if those other guys suffer.... (quick!!) ... you know, this is the way of the world, and if you dont like it you are free to object, but basically it wont make a lick of difference.
Heres you lifetime worth of democracy [ 28 general elections, 10 federal elections] , dont go off the deep end now with all that freedom😛 [AAARRRGH!!!!]
Basically we have enough food to feed the world. And if we dont, or we need a bit more money for toilets or houses or wells, we can probably spare a couple of percent of a our military budgets and fix those things up literally overnight.
But now who would that help? Not the people in power. They need the Taliban. They need those crazy Muslims. They needed the twin towers to go down. How else would you justify having such a crap country? (When I say "crap country", I dont mean you who are the "little people" doing your own thing, the ones usually being used by the big fatcats).
How else would you justify that military spending?
Freedom? Yes you are free to spend money, make money, or partake in ventures/interests/hobbies that revolve around paying taxes,etc.
I assume you live in the U.S. , RBHILL. Sorry if you dont. But I think this is an issue that should be apparent to people from all over the world, not just americans.(Especially people into spirituality)
The issue being the massive ineqaulities between the rich and the poor.
