Reader comments about this quote:
Money is simply printed by the government.

     -- Steph, Islamorada      
    The narrowed observation of money is here limited to science and law which truly represents or expresses a prose of life. All else that is called money, that is inharmonious to the absolutism of science and law, can not rise to the definitive — beautiful as roses.

    Money must be regulated like food and drink. The quality of the money received must be under careful consideration and concern. Socialist don't rob banks, sorry my Leninists and Stalinist buddies. Socialism is the challenge of social abilities to create appropriate behavior.

    Money, food and drink's regulation may be extremely antithetical to nature's law. Sillik, your overly general / broad statement is way to shallow and doesn't make sense unless you define your terms. By example, real money is regulated by weights and measures; and, food and drink may be regulated by nature's adjudicated health to the end user (i.e. sellers will be held responsible for knowingly selling products infected with botulism). A government of carnal gods, such as socialism, harm humanity by economically regulating money, food and drink (by example; equalizing prices, inflation, etc.)

    Mike Norwalk you are as usual, are aggressively,  irrationally and ignorantly misrepresenting. Other than this comment, I wish you a good day.

    Mike Norwalk if we are to continue correspondence. You are going to have to present yourself non- aggressive, reasonable, and detailing accurately. Socialism is the challenge of social abilities to create transparency.

    Sillik, I understand that because I present accurately — detailed facts in an atmosphere of reason, your perception is that of aggression. I also understand that you find truth to be offensive. Socialism is a NON-transparent form of pain, poverty, slavery, aggression, destruction, violence and war.

    Money is simply a storehouse of labor.  Even capital goods only have value due to the labor necessary to create them. 

    Therefore if money can be corrupted, the corruption can steal the fruits of one's labor — even the property of a nation en masse.  Such theft is incomprehensible to the uneducated man and why government-sponsored education never touches the subject.  But every currency trader understands the principle and bets with one currency against another for gains due to its expansion or contraction.  Ask George Soros...

    A central bank that prints money out of thin air to buy government promissory notes (bonds) will eventually own the government and its citizens — this is nothing short of slavery, and is the system employed by every member nation of the UN — in fact, it is one of the requirements of membership.

    Real money is liberty, interest-bearing fiat currency is servitude.
     -- E Archer, NYC
