ChatGPT: The quote you're thinking of is often attributed to Henry David Thoreau, who said:
"There are a thousand hacking at the branches of evil to one who is striking at the root."
This means that many people focus on addressing the surface-level symptoms of a problem (the branches) rather than tackling the underlying cause (the root). Thoreau’s point is that true change or resolution comes only when we address the core issues rather than just the visible effects.

I am convinced that USURY is the ROOT of ALL EVIL.
USURY is the mechanism of our enslavement.
USURY is why we are TAX SLAVES
USURY is why we are DEBT SLAVES
USURY is the mechanism by which “the wealth” is “transferred” from the working poor, and into the hands of “the rich” or “the wealthy”
“All wealth is derived from labor”
~ Adam Smith, paraphrased
ChatGPT: The quote you're referencing is close to Adam Smith’s ideas in The Wealth of Nations, though it may not be a direct quote. Smith argued that labor is a primary source of value, stating:
"Labour was the first price, the original purchase-money that was paid for all things."
This means that labor is foundational to creating wealth, as it’s through human work that resources are transformed into valuable goods and services. Smith emphasized that the value of any commodity largely depends on the amount of labor invested in producing it.
Our entire money system is built on USURY.
So let me give you my own two personal definitions of USURY…
-
Usury is the charging of money, for the use of money.
-
Usury is the charging of any interest at all.
And until USURY is addressed, we will never be “free”
The Federal Reserve Note is in the final stages of life,
And the reason it failed, is the same reason EVERY usury scheme fails
Trump is just one man.
We don’t have much time to enact the monetary reforms we should make
I nominate Ron Paul for the job
What I can't understand is why do we, the government have to pay interest on our on money that technically does not even exist except inside of a computer.
We don't. However the privately owned central banks who own the media have brain washed societies believing the usury system is just the way it was, is now and will be the ONLY way how a sound financial/economic can function. This is perhaps the greatest lie and deceit of power/control that has ever been perpetrated on mankind (in non-theologian arguments) for centuries. Once the evil Central banks are removed from existence, man will thrive in amazing ways. The greatest effort will be to be constantly aware of this evil to begin another attempt to establish itself, because it will. Mankind should mandate education to instill the full understanding of the "nuts and bolts" of how it works and why it's not no longer allowed to exist in the future.
a wise man said to me, in the future, everyone will be their own bank
We shouldn't pay interest but there are tangible assets at the root .
it creates an artifical “shortage” of money,
its the treadmill, the gerbil wheel, of our life
it causes us to “hustle”
everyones a hustler
The gerbil wheel is also represented in the work day/week/year
