“Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.”
The current process of money creation violates this constitutional right
We are each compelled to accept currencies in exchange for our labor, by law
This is a compulsory service generating the largest stream of income on the planet, the interest paid to create and maintain money, a stream of income usurped from those performing the service and licensed to banks by State
Our acceptance of money in exchange, the only value money has, required by law, without compensation or agreement, is involuntary servitude. It is the assertion by State that citizen’s goods and labor are State property, that State has a right to sell options (loan money into existence) to purchase.
Once money creation is corrected, each of us recognized structurally as equal financiers of our global socioeconomic system, litigating any residual inequities will be less problematic, less pressing, less necessary, and perhaps even not worth the effort…
..without truly ending slavery though, we can’t really have nice things
The cost and harm caused by slavery can’t even be totaled while it still exists, so reasonable reparations can’t be determined
Thanks for the perspective, and your kind indulgence
