so if we break it down to the core and view this picture on a global scale why should you be forced to pay it back when you, me and probably 90% of the people here on vgchartz own a part of the debt all countries hold together? 

Because people on VGC probably hold next to nothing in debt, and because the way the government gets money is by, you guessed it, not spending it on its citizens.

if you have a savings account or just anything that generates income based on government bonds you cause government debt somewhere on the world. there is a reason why interest rates a down globally because central banks are trying to solve the government debt problem by getting people out of so called save money investment solutions that cause the debt nearly everyone is complaining about.
