    All money is debt - if all debt were paid off, there would be no money. Money is not based on value.

    Fractional reserve system (ratio 9:1) allows private banks to create new money in the form of new loans, up to about 100 times the value of the bank's own deposit to the central bank.

    As banks charge a higher interest on loans than they pay for deposits, to pay for the interest difference, more loans needs to be drawn from banks constantly.

    An ever-increasing portion of taxes and all transactions are needed to cover the interest on the ever-increasing sum of outstanding loans.

    All money is loaned from banks, and all (except the 5% that is cash) is deposited into banks.
