Do you know how to balance your checkbook? Of course you do. Do you know that paying your bills on time will save you from being charged late fees? Of course you do. Have you heard that credit card companies charge interest? Of course you have.
As bankruptcies skyrocket, and home foreclosures soar, financial literacy and debt counseling programs have become big business. As I watch what is happening, it sickens me to realize that these programs have been sponsored by the very agencies and companies which created the problems in the first place (The banks, lending companies and the federal government) and that instead of being enlightening, they serve to keep people poor and under control.
Debt places the debtor in a state of economic slavery, and these programs perpetuate the notion that we can all be “good little slaves” by playing by the company “rules”. The programs are designed to keep people tied to their jobs and living within the confines of budgets.
Entrepreneurialism is portrayed as “risky” and to be avoided. And formal education is presented as a safe panacea for advancement in the workplace.
The creators of these programs should be ASHAMED of themselves! Ashamed for their part in the enslavement of our country. (And if you, dear reader, are not from the USA, don’t think that you are exempt from this rant. The ramification of what I am saying affects YOU and your countrymen, too.)
There are international economic conspiracies at play. They have shaped our current world and are responsible for the good times, the recessions, and what appears to be a horrific financial future for most of the world.
True financial education starts with being aware. Aware of what? The overall game plan of the powers which are controlling our economies. That’s what. This information is being hidden from the public, because the very sources of our news and educational programs are the same agencies which benefit from hiding the truth.
I believe that the total focus of financial literacy programs should be changed. The emphasis should be on teaching the benefits of entrepreneurialism, invention and independence from banks, lenders and corporations.
This may not be a popular idea, yet, but times are changing. As unemployment rises, many people are finding that entrepreneurialism and self-employment are viable alternatives to dependence on a shrinking job market.
I truly believe that those who are being funneled into government endorsed “re-training” programs are being deceived. I think that the government is “buying time” in hopes that jobs will be available by the time graduation day rolls around. At the very least, they are using the programs as a buffer against the civil unrest which mass unemployment can spark.
Of course, most people don’t want to be entrepreneurs. They want jobs.
That too is a shame, but it’s not their fault. Everyone who has gone through a public education has been conditioned to be a laborer, worker, manager or executive in the service of a company someone else controls.
This Free DVD Will Open Your Eyes To The World Of True Economic Education.
Have you seen the free DVD “The Conspiracy Against Your Money?”
A lot of suspicions I had about the nature of what’s happening in our economy were confirmed when I watched it. Especially the part about economic slavery. The reality of it is vile.
We need to protect ourselves so that we are not victims of those in power. Knowledge may not set us free, but it will make us less complacent and give us an edge over those who follow blindly.
My guess is that if you are reading this far into my rant, not much of what I am saying is news to you, but I’d appreciate hearing your comments. So please leave a note here and let me and other readers know what you’re thinking.
