On the subject of the barter system.

Really, two ideas from an older society, that just aren't given the respect that they deserve. I am no hippie and don't agree with communal living, unless it's me living in a communal society of hot women with sponge bath fetishes. One thing that communes did right, however, was bartering. Even our ancestors from across the pond and into the new world bartered for things, trading goods, such as game, or vegetables, for services, such as carpentry, or prostitution." Will you build me a fence in trade for these chickens?", a man would say to a carpenter, to wit the carpenter would reply something like,"Hell, if you throw in fifteen minutes alone with that mother pig, I'll finish your whole damn barn.". it was that simple, people with a viable skill or trade or people with particularly sexy family members, livestock, or vegetables, were considered rich among the other folk that didn't have much to offer society. It was these average folk, that started the whole idea of a monetary system. Think about it, who are the most inept people on the planet when it comes to basic survival? The monetarily rich, that's who. If we flipped over to a barter system right now, these people would crumble to dust faster than someone who chose the wrong grail. Most wealthy people in America are wealthy because they can manipulate the monetary system, or it is manipulated for them, not because they worked hard or are extra talented. Maybe for a while they could survive as prostitutes but that is a hard life for a former wealthy person, especially when your pimp comes and takes 90% of your chickens. The best part about the barter system is that there is no way to tax it. How many nails did you put into a persons dock against how many pounds of fish they handed you in return, please send the IRS two nails and 10.2 ounces of small mouth bass. What is the federal interest rate on poultry? We are at the brink of living in a world that only cares about money, in twenty years we will be forced into a global economy that is wholey controlled by the bank. Our own Federal Reserve(which is not Federal in any way shape or form) chairman has already been spouting about how our market must be global for the future of the country, which is retarded, everyone knows that expansion just makes more poor people for the banks to soak and control. The statistics won't change, 10% of the people will still control 90% of the money. In a new barter system world we could topple the economic super structure in a hail storm of livestock, foraged foods and poorly built shelving units.
