Yeah, it is my money.  it is my account with my name.  I am the one who went to work, performed my duties that warranted my paycheck.  My duties are assigned based on my education, my knowledge and my experience. This push for people's things to be community owned is nonsense.    

The US's debt to GDP ratio isn't much different than places like Canada, France, Italy, etc.  So, no.  

Again, people in this thread want to paint a picture that simply isn't accurate. 

Because it is the community who decided that your money has any value, and the community build up the system that allowed you to have them, hence the community can take that away again if they so desire. You are merely borrowing them. I am not saying they should take it away from you, but they would have every right to if they decide to. Private property is not a natural law, but an idea.

I didn't say the US is the only place that is screwed, I said the whole West is screwed. Increasing debt (for many western countries), stagnating if not declining living standard for the poor and middle class, exploding inequality, plummeting birth-rate, and now in the US, immigration will also nose-dive, meaning the population will start to decline. How is your favorite 8 tech companies planning to keep it all together, and why should they care?
