> If somebody took the money, the money have to come from somewhere. If you allow people to take money and not repay it, this money have to come from somewhere. Actually that's not the way it works. The banks don't have to back up their loans with real money. When a bank makes a new loan they just create it out of thin air, it's a few digits on a hard drive and a few pieces of paper and "poof" a new debt is born. You have to pay the debt back with very real money and do very real work to earn the money. But in order for the bank to make a new loan they just make it up. Our system is designed to redistribute wealth from the bottom to the top. That's why we need a new system. |

As for building a new system - so far such attempts ended up with North Korea, Soviet Union and other atrocities - but maybe you could do better. Good luck with it.
