13. It's worth learning

Keep in mind that the 1% want us to keep the same system, no matter what. Even if they get taxed into the ground, it's all still to their advantage- they'll still be on top and immune to the law(their real aim).

If we restructure and take that away from them, all of us could have a massive standard of living increase, and they'll have to behave. That wouldn't stop every problem, but it would be a huge start.

I started studying economics during the Bush Admin so I could understand what they were doing. I highly recommend it, as there's a lot of voodoo that gets pushed as fact from economists and pundits that is easy to see through if you know how it works.
