- Ghoztt, on 01/06/2009, -6/+102"I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies. If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation.... then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around [the banks] will deprive the people of all property until their children wake-up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered. The issuing power should be taken from the banks and restored to the people, to whom it properly belongs. " - Thomas Jefferson in a Letter to the Secretary of the Treasury Albert Gallatin
Welcome to the End of America.
Sorry Thomas Jefferson. - lumpunzik, on 01/06/2009, -10/+61♫ Money, get away.
Get a good job with more pay and you're okay.
Money, its a gas.
Grab that cash with both hands and make a stash.
New car, caviar, four star daydream,
Think I'll buy me a football team. ♫
♫ Money, get back.
I'm all right Jack keep your hands off of my stack.
Money, its a hit.
Don't give me that do goody good *****.
I'm in the high-fidelity first class traveling set
And I think I need a lear jet. ♫
♫ Money, its a crime.
Share it fairly but don't take a slice of my pie.
Money, so they say
Is the root of all evil today.
But if you ask for a rise its no surprise that they're
Giving none away... ♫ - thayanmarsh, on 01/06/2009, -3/+37Not to go marxist, but:
"Labor creates all wealth" -marx
I guess this comic is more or less today's equivalent of that statement. - mentallyinhell, on 01/06/2009, -4/+38It's a vicious cycle.
- cloviejr, on 01/06/2009, -2/+17Dugg for a webcomic that looks like it took more than five minutes to draw.
- LeroyJenkems, on 01/06/2009, -1/+16The music notes are a very nice touch

- Pr0phecy88, on 01/06/2009, -1/+9When your debt is $10,639,763,417,055.07 (at the time of this message. Tomorrow it will 3.51 billion more), then your share is quite large my friend. $34,837.73 To be precise.
If you call that jack *****, then you don't belong in the first panel. - GovernmentsGun, on 01/06/2009, -1/+9No, what they're really saying is that government is going to rob the poor man in the first panel like they have been doing for two millennium now.
- BretFTW, on 01/06/2009, -3/+10That is the funniest damn thing I have seen in a long time!
Too bad this is all true :/ - RedHeadedFreak, on 01/06/2009, -3/+9Just print more!

- AngryBacon, on 01/06/2009, -1/+7Labor =! Manual Labor
- OnSolThree, on 01/06/2009, -0/+5If only more people had the same opinion as Jefferson on standing armies as well.
"I do not like [in the new Federal Constitution] the omission of a Bill of Rights providing clearly and without the aid of sophisms for... protection against standing armies." - Macintoshreader, on 01/06/2009, -14/+19MrBabySpam.
- inactive, on 01/06/2009, -1/+6@mooseontheloose
34k isn't that much? It's a ***** cadillac payment without owning the goddamned cadillac.... Between saving for my retirement, my daughters schooling, everyday life... I don't want an invisible car payment.
To answer your other question about "what have you been doing all your life" Cooking meals for you, fixing your car, unclogging your sewer systems, bagging your ***** groceries, watching your children, growing your ***** food, the list goes on.... How much in debt are you Mr. grad student living in NYC?
Tell us how you are doing when you are in your 40's, married with children..... smug little *****. - vsaint, on 01/06/2009, -0/+5I knew Lucille Bluth was in charge of everything.
- inactive, on 01/06/2009, -1/+6Pink Floyd is my favorite band of all time.

sad thing is that its true - willster580, on 01/06/2009, -1/+5Hot.
- elryanoo, on 01/06/2009, -1/+5Gotta love that federal reserve act of 1913 huh... oh wait.
- tEhKewleSt, on 01/06/2009, -1/+4Dude, you went all marxist.
- JT3989, on 01/06/2009, -1/+4your doin it wrong
- pakiranian, on 01/06/2009, -3/+6zeitgeistmovie.com watch the new one its legit!
- tama00, on 01/06/2009, -0/+3Wow is that what they are telling you guys in America lol
You guys are *****! I'm sorry to be the one to break your ego, but seriously a little debit is not bad when you are sure you can pay it off then why pay it all off at once. But you guys are in a ***** LOAD of debit!
Oh but sure its only 34k now.. What will it be in 2 more years? and its actually more like 150k per tax payer anyways.
oh but continue to watch the TV and repeat after me "we are free". - eddie72, on 01/06/2009, -0/+3Yeah the comic strip was so true though I dugg the post anyways.
- roodammy44, on 01/06/2009, -0/+3Actually, socialized healthcare will cost the average american a lot less than your current system.
As for price/value, you guys probably have the worst ratio in the world. Certainly worse than europe.
If you don't improve your schools, the rest of the world will overtake your scientific and political development and you will become unimportant as a nation. I understand what you're saying about home schooling being good, but when so many people are stupid, how do you expect them to home school their stupid children.
And disability benefit fraud is more down to how you tackle the problem than how much you pay.
You're right about the trillions of debt. I bet the neocons are regretting their pointless war. - Memitim, on 01/06/2009, -0/+3I suspect that BobZombie00 may have been referring to the complaint about this being a MrBabyMan submission, seeing as though he replied to Macintoshreader's comment hinting at such rather than replying to the original post.
As to the content of your comment: "the end of life on this planet?" Really? The goofy economic games of today pale in comparison to some of the shenanigans that have been pulled since humans first began to trade. By your logic, the Earth should resemble Mars at this point. - whatthefu, on 01/06/2009, -0/+3When you've let Thomas Jefferson down, you know you've ***** up.
- SirVizor, on 01/06/2009, -2/+5Knowledge/Information creates all wealth. Marx was wrong. Google is right.
- greevar, on 01/06/2009, -0/+2That's the attitude that will subject us to this form of slavery until the whole system collapses. A system that requires infinite growth cannot be sustained. It's like filling a balloon with water. You can only fill it with so much water before it bursts. Unfortunately, this could potentially spell the end for life on this planet. At the least it would cast our society into mass poverty.
- db0255, on 01/06/2009, -0/+2man, nancy pelosi is ugly as...
- rauce, on 01/06/2009, -0/+2Pass that buck.

- houndeyex, on 01/06/2009, -1/+3Hell, I dug it because it took 10 seconds to read. Not this wall-of-text crap that usually makes the front page.
- inactive, on 01/06/2009, -0/+2Resources create wealth and labour is but one resource.
- lohphat, on 01/06/2009, -1/+3Yeah the REPUBLICAN congress for the most part.
- uncleosbert, on 01/06/2009, -0/+2it's a möbius strip!
- Zaggynl, on 01/06/2009, -1/+3Silly American culture.
Must.Take.More.Loans.
brb maxing my creditcard - RusskiGuy, on 01/06/2009, -0/+2Wouldn't be funny if it wasn't true...
- jobobshishkabob, on 01/06/2009, -1/+3Pelosi is no better than neo cons... different, but not better.
- djruden, on 01/06/2009, -0/+2Cuz congress kept writing Bush blank checks for everything.
