Failing to see the bigger picture

Every two weeks or so there is a distraction.

Now it is Mick Wallace, before that it was the treaty vote. This pits us all against one another, or against the “villain” in the distraction.

Each time we fail to see the bigger picture, choosing instead to descend into shrill screams. At the moment the shrill screams either defend this man and his actions or abhor him for them.

The funny thing is that the distraction is invariably a symptom of our monetary policy, hence the missed opportunity every time, ie, when we only focus on the symptom and never the disease.

Well, then, what is the disease?

It is how money is issued into our society. It is done in a way that ensures it can never be repaid fully across society.

The treaty vote was just ensuring we got to continue borrowing from this immoral system. Vat is a tax that was introduced to help raise funds for countries to try and pay back the debt to this system that can never be repaid.

Of course tax is also needed to meet the increasing welfare and public wage bills, as the recipients of these monies struggle to match the inflation caused by these suppliers of our money, ie, the privately owned central banks of the world.

My state does not need to charge Vat, capital gains tax, road tax, etc.

If my government/state issued the money that is needed by society it would need to charge dramatically less taxation as its debt to third-party bankers !would be eliminated. Also the inflation caused by the bankers would be gone.
