What Exactly is Money?
A separation of truth and myth about our monetary system
By Jon Ronnquist
Ever wonder why your representatives in government seem helpless to make real changes to bad situations? It's because the situations are only bad from where you're standing and he or she couldn't change them if they wanted to.

It is my belief that money is a means to and end. The government prints the money on paper in predetermines values. It is those value that we use to buy what we may need in durable and consumable goods. It is those items we buy with the governments valued paper that helps us lead a good life. Without the use of the governments value on its money we would have a hard time going about the old barter or trade method.
Money becomes evil not when it is used to buy goods but when it is used to buy power... Economic inequalities become evil when they are translated into political inequalities.
