Sure, it's about a central banking system and turning you into a slave of the global technocrats.. at least the slaves they don't eliminate through democide which is a massive number. Means to an ends.
As for minimum wage, who works for minimum wage? sheesh. Every job I've had was much above any gov set minimum, and I always increased my wage by working hard and learning as much I could about what was going on around me, even going to school while I worked. And I use to have awesome health care with that, and a 401k, all gone now

You argue over what flavor of tyranny you prefer to savor. You act like Bush wasn't the same and headed in the same direction as the others; the new boss same as the old boss.

I'm enjoying the irony of American Sanders supporters lecturing me, a former Soviet citizen, on the glories of Socialism and what it really means! Socialism sounds great in speech soundbites and on Facebook, but please keep it there. In practice, it corrodes not only the economy but the human spirit itself, and the ambition and achievement that made modern capitalism possible and brought billions of people out of poverty. Talking about Socialism is a huge luxury, a luxury that was paid for by the successes of capitalism. Income inequality is a huge problem, absolutely. But the idea that the solution is more government, more regulation, more debt, and less risk is dangerously absurd.
