REVOLUTION is the very real possibility if/when "negative interest rates" or "stealing citizens money" starts.

Citizens had all trust DESTROYED by the economic elites in 2008. A massive number of Wall Street and finance companies showed how corrupt and how much damage they cause real citizens. Trust is GONE.

Citizens will view that their money is being stolen. All of this is about draining more money from workers and transferring it to companies and the wealthiest 1%. Slavery is when the powerful financially steal workers earned money, against their permission, in an unjust way. In a way that is a system of theft is from poor workers over to the wealthy.

That leads to revolt. Every time "negative interest" goes through your brain, force yourself to replace it with "stealing that causes revolt". It gives you a chance to wake up to see how workers will view it.
