Our economy revolves around the almighty dollar.
The value of our dollar is well entirely made up otherwise known as fiat money.
Our brand of economy is known as consumer capitalism.
Consumer capitalism is hairpin focused on american consumers who have capital aka rich people with money who use and use and use whenever they want something.
Consumer capitalism disregards all the proactive production (aka work) required for the aforementioned wealthy to consume. This in large is due to the fact when such practices were invented slavery was in full force.
Disregarding the work and placing the useless consumer on a pedestal is exactly how we got to where we are now.
Who here feels like legal U.S. tender should be backed by actual labor forcing EVERY human to live by this rule would solidify hardworkers as the individuals with the most capital and eliminating inactive consumers clenching on to a fiat system perpetuated only because their grip on the populous was disapating.
