Things we’re not supposed to notice:

- Governments literally stamp their names and politician's faces on money. You're supposed to obtain it and give some back to the government.

- There’s a distinction between government and economy, though government enforces capitalism (social relations of "property", police, etc), and attacks other nations which try alternatives.

- The money supply is basically bureaucracy-points made on computers.

"In God We Trust" is an apt description of how we're not supposed to question simple things. With the moralistic notion of "debt", we religiously consign children to awful fates.
