 There is a big take away here.
People under-understand the fact that the current system takes our time in exchange for inflatable money.  The rich have all the time in the world because we all work for them.  The system is the sickness.  Private dictatorship of the work force. They also control the government which they pay (bribe) to enforce their products.

They are all golfing and sipping champagne while we toil away.
But yeah thats freedom, democracy and capitalism!

Actually its just capitalism.

Think about that a little longer.  Time is the most precious asset you have.  And you're getting airmiles from private kings and queens while they take it from you.
