If you answered yes to these then STFU YOU ARE THE PERPETUATING THE PROBLEM.

you cant live in this world without them, again THEY HAVE IT ALL SOWN UP!

the best way to get at them (and no one will EVER do this) is to all of us stop using their products, services and other shite. Of course it does mean that everyone will have to grow their food and lots of other inconvienances. Which is why no one will do it. the West is FAAAAAR too comfy to get off its fat ass

get an account with a credit union, buy locally grown produce as much as possible, invest in green companies.
This alone will have a huge impact if enough people realize its potential.

then let's continue.
i have no bank,no drivers license(17yrs),no credit or debit cards.ever.
i just bought new shoes...at the dollar village.
retirement?
i haven't worked in 8 years and i haven't filed in 20.
i have no cell phone,no gadgets at all.
i am a simple man with simple needs.
i am 'underground'

we all have simple needs ,problem is most people buy into advertising and want more because they are empty inside needing to fill a void they don't understand .

As for freedom being a right, well if you believe in god and believe that he/she/it gave you freedom as a right then I can't argue with that because it's based on hocos pocus that can't be addressed.

no you don't.in your society you know your 'rights'.correct?
who gave them to you?the gov't.
so you then believe in the gov't(corruption,tyranny,psychopaths) rather than 'hokus pocus'.
then you wonder why the world is in the shape it's in.

No idea where you got any of that. The government didn't give me my rights, the people decided to give themselves rights and have the government protect those rights. Now the government is trying to slowly remove them.

And I don't believe in the government. I think we totally let it get out of hand.

same here I stopped trying to fill the void with alcohol and toys years ago after a work place accident woke me up , searched for a long time before I realized it was in me the whole time.
It is how I perceive myself ,that was the problem .

using all that money for what?to get another home?

i didn't go to college,why?not enough money
i rent,not own,why?not enough money.
their american dream was purchased with money they DIDN'T HAVE.
my american dream is to appreciate what i DO HAVE.

Boon, you are a mental midget.

Not everyone, in fact, most people are nothing like you describe. Many of the people that I know of, first hand and second hand are in the situation they are in because OTHER people don't know how to handle their money. Their bosses, the owners of their banks, etc. They, like me, worked very hard to get the things we had. I didn't buy a house that I couldn't afford I stayed well within my means but when the job left the money went with it. I worked within a very modest budget and never went outside of it. I paid my bills every month, was never late and had great credit. All of that also left with the money. I don't care what you do. If you have no income you will lose everything and it will still be no fault of your own.
So, think before you speak. Get out of your mommies basement and join the real world.

I agree, for someone who doesnt work he has to eat somehow, and he talks about leeches.
