Pre-Paid
Pre-paid is very simple. The entire economy is pre-paid. Look at it this way: We have a car sitting on a dealer’s lot. You walk up to buy the car. Does the dealer ever tell you "I am glad you are going to buy this car because we have to find out how we are going to pay for this car to be built." No is the answer you would get, but that is exactly what they are doing when you go to the bank to get a loan. When do they ever build something and then talk about how they are going to finance it to be built. The product was paid for when the contract was put in place to collect the industrial recourses through the Army Corp of Engineers, EPA, DOT, and OSHA in Flint, Michigan to build it. Even more precisely, the item was paid for when the census did a per-capita poll to identify how much money those agencies should put into the economy based on our productivity, (unfortunately take a quick look at Marxism and Keynesian Economics to make a connection with your worth and your previous status). Now everybody with a head (per capita) raise your hand. Good they loaned against you to finance the operation, that is the "Principal Account." Making the item pre-paid for the acceptor. This is another reason why you are the principal. The principal reason you are Pre-Paid is because Christ's acceptance of the sins in the Garden of Gethsemane and His death on the cross, created the Pre-Payment of all your liabilities both temporal and spiritual because they are inseparable because I wasn't here two thousand years ago but My sins were pre-paid on the condition that I accept the Redeemer. You are the source of economic production being the principal and your interest accruing from you i.e. a per-capita census statistics was pledged as the collateral to be the sponsor of the monetary systems' credit. That is why when interest that accrues from the principal gets returned (tax returned) to the principal, there is a decrease in tax liability (a deduction). The vendor is paying his taxes to you. That is why it is a tax matter. Tax is just a return of the interest to the principal.
If we cannot do anything without "money" , how have we done a thing before "money" ?
But can you understand : that the only works existing in our countries is "work for other human" , social, sellers, traders etc ... NOTHING RELATED TO THE PRODUCTION OF STUFF, or stupid capital in its own upper economy.
Continuing this stupidity : we "accept" unemployment : "because we must work to get a salary".
But have we changed the system ? YES : with robots. Since the industrial revolution : the relationnship between "human work" / salary should have CHANGED !
"All my money has been invested into experiments with which I have made new discoveries enabling mankind to have a little easier life"
Nikola Tesla
Do you think you could stop Tesla or Einstein from their work ? Money or no money, that was their passion. All great inventors are like that.
In 1886, Tesla formed his own company, Tesla Electric Light & Manufacturing. The initial financial investors disagreed with Tesla on his plan for an alternating current motor and eventually relieved him of his duties at the company. Tesla worked in New York as a common laborer from 1886 to 1887 to feed himself and raise capital for his next project.
Tesla, a local contractor, and several assistants commenced the construction of the laboratory shortly after arriving in Colorado Springs. The lab was established on Knob Hill, east of the Colorado School for the Deaf and Blind and one mile (1.6 km) east of downtown. Its primary purposes were experiments with high frequency electricity and other phenomena, and secondary--research into wireless transmission of electrical power.

Tesla left Colorado Springs on January 7, 1900. The lab was torn down, broken up, and its contents sold to pay debts. The Colorado experiments prepared Tesla for his next project, the establishment of a wireless power transmission facility that would be known as Wardenclyffe.
As a member of the open-source community I can say unequivocally both me and a number of friends write software not for money, but because we simply enjoy programming and solving problems.
Also, if you read the history of a number of famous inventors you'll find more often than not it was the intellectual-challenge that motivated the person not the material rewards that came out of it.
This is why we as humans accept money because we assume it provides quid pro quo. The problem is this: why would a business-owner hire an employee if not to make money off of him? The entire design here is to allow the employer to use his greater liquidity to get more out of the worker than what's put-in.
This is inherently unfair.
The fact is in many fields the employee puts-in significantly more than the employer. This is especially true in the gaming industry. I regularly work 80-100 hour weeks and I don't get paid overtime for any of it. I do this because I care about the quality of the end-product.
The employer is not the hero here.
As a matter a fact i saw the op say how corrupt our government has gotten. Well Mr. OP you can credit that to the very title of your topic. MONEY.

Money seems to make the world run, if we do without, the world stops spinning! The world spun before money was ever invented, and will continue to do so long after it's abolished.
If we can create a system which provides the essentials for each individual, the need/desire for money will vanish overnight.
The point I am trying to make is that the system we live in is very unfair, these people are all workers who all help making the united states a wealthy country, but they aren’t wealthy themselves, the only reason the united states is considered a wealthy nation is because of its average income, which is about $ 42,000 annually, how come its 42,000? Because 9 people make 20,000 and 1 makes 220,000 therefore the average is 40,000.
Sorry for the long story and apologies for any grammar or spelling mistakes English is not my primary language.
