Expat commented:  "Arbeit macht Frei"

My reply"
Precisely.  The Nazi Work-State slogan translated;  "Work will make you free."  The communists put the same tyrannical policy "salvation through works" into practice with a vengeance.   Jesus had a different approach in multiplying loaves and fishes and distributing them unconditionally simply because of need.  He added, " Toil not, your Heavenly Father knows you have need of these things" and loosely quoted "If God feeds the fish of the sea, the beasts of the field and the fowl of the air how much more would he feed us humans--us of little Faith. " What are mechanical advantage and the unearned increment of association anyway but increased efficiency which tend to displace human effort and yet create unprecedented abundance.  We fools adhere to a financial system that permits the production of unsaleable glut because we can't devise a means to distribute it and the increased leisure that should be a result of this increasing efficiency.  The banking system can create billions of new money iin the form of debt which is an inflationary charge against future production.  And we cannot pay that money out without debt to supplement consumer income and to "subsidize" lower consumer prices?  The consumer is properly charged with capital depreciation but quite wrongly not credited with capital appreciation which latter is much greater the depreciation!  There should be no overall need for consumer debt whatsoever and consumer prices should be falling continuously.  The banks have effectively appropriated the communal capital by claiming ownership of the credit that they create--credit which actually belongs to the community.  What a scam--and what fools we are to allow it!
