It's actually not our money. It is their money. If you look at a dollar bill it says "Federal Reserve Note". It is owned by the Federal Reserve. It is that ownership of all money that allows for all of the fuckery. Well, really it's the compliance of the masses that allows for all the fuckery, but legally speaking, it is that they literally own all the money that makes it all happen the way it does.
It is their ownership of that money, for example, which is why all the money that we pay in taxes goes directly to the Fed and bypasses the US Treasury. It is their ownership of the money that allows the private subcontractor we call the IRS (who is also a subcontractor of the Fed) to claim ownership of all of a persons property if they are suspected of a "tax crime." It's their money, and all of our things are collateral. (The 14th amendment plays a very important part in that as well.)
While I agree we shouldn't be paying interest to anyone, and that it is a scam, it's not the scam you may think it is. The scam is the same scam that's been going on forever (for thousands of years). The only way to stop the scam is for people to understand the scam, and reject it completely. The only way to stop it is to adopt a Free Market economy; something that has never happened.
People think that "Capitalism" is a free market. That is a lie. People do not understand what Capitalism is. They do not understand that that is also a scam (at least as we understand it). The scam is, quite frankly, massive on a scale that is difficult to comprehend, and it is far more convoluted than you can imagine.
But the solution is simple. First people need to understand that they have been scammed, then they need to understand what a free market is (which almost no one does), then they need to adopt it.
"Simple" is probably not that simple, since those are not easy tasks, but it is broad scale understanding of the true nature of the scam that is all that is required in order to solve the problem, and in that sense, it is simple.
