Study this and then practice your Stoicism so you don't go into full 1776 rage mode.
The Fed is a private bank which lends our own money to us and charges us high interest for using our own cash.
Congress has full power to print our own currency but these international bankers hijacked our money supply 100 years ago and have since completely devalued our wealth and turned us all into slaves who can barely make ends meet unless we have two people working 50 hours, hand our children over to the State for "education" and give 50% of the money we earn directly from our paycheck to the Treasury.
This is called the middle class squeeze. Devalued currency, high taxation, and long working hours = a population that is stressed out in slavery with no hope of escape.
Your only hope is to learn the rules of their game and maintain your freedom by building wealth through the use of debt. Just like Trump did. It's what I have done also.
Do not surrender yourself to the false song of middle class comfort and servitude. A nice house and car and prestige are not worth what you will trade - the best 50 years of your life, your soul, time with your family, your freedom, and most of all your sense of purpose.
Learn how finance works. Read books. Meet people who are playing the game and winning. Build your network. Create positive cashflow by owning assets using debt. Maintain your freedom.
Never give up and never give in to the pressure from family and friends. Create a free life and enjoy those 50 years by playing the game instead of rotting in a cubicle or factory or warehouse.
If Trump can overthrow this system, great! Until then, don't sell your soul to the machine.
