While I agree, I'm guessing your treating this as a cause of the masses while ignoring the 'property' loving corporations that own things like Google or utilize them to thwart democracy through learning about people through those clicks. "Income" is just a form of property. OR, better yet, ALL wealth is represented as power over either property (mass) or to the power of debt as promised by money called income (energy). Mass is energy of a different form AS property is to income. They are 'debt' or 'credit' that make up a form of human-energy of different forms.

Well I do understand your point but there are still important issues that need to be tackle in that situation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
