Three Ways They Steal

[Michael K.]

Three ways they steal.
 
1. One man needs to eat today while he builds things that consumers will pay for in the future.  He needs an advance to pay expenses until his product is sold.  Bankers make those advances.  Bankers also make sure that the economy is lacking in purchasing power so that no production can be undertaken  unless they approve of it.   This financing is not a factor of production, rather it is a monopoly charge on what should be free.  People should not have to pay banks interest  to have money in circulation.  There should be enough money in circulation -- money that does not have to be returned to banks along with interest -- so that successful producers can fund expansion from profit.  Instead we have deflation from interest burden that bankrupts businesses so that the banks end up owning them, so that the corporations owned by the bankers end up owning them.

2. Man needs land resources.  Speculators take the land early -- and then for the rest of their lives they rake in increasing riches, as other people build the economy and they collect rent which they raise to confiscate all increased earnings of the toilers.
 
3.  Man seeking a lower price is tricked by usury.  A man buys what his neighbor produces.  But then a stranger comes to town and opens a store which sells for less.  But why is the price less?  There are two reasons.  One you know about: the store gets goods from a place where workers are paid less.  The other reason the store sells for less is that the banks have extended credit to that store so that it can undercut and further undercut the prices of local producers and drive them out of business.  As soon as the local producers are gone and unable to get advances to make a comeback then the store begins to charge monopoly prices, because he no longer has local competitors.  The monopoly prices include a premium to pay the interest on the loans that enabled the stranger's store to drive the local stores out of business.
 
The answer to all of these is populist politics -- people who know what they are doing leading people who know enough to know that the leader knows what he is doing.
 
This is not a Ron Paul 2012 message.

Wal-Mart is 100 per cent Jewish in concept and in parasitism. There were similar Bolshevik mega merchants that ran in an identical fashion to Wal-Mart. And what happened to their prices after they bankrupted Ma and Pa Russian? Take a guess.
