Right, so, say we're in a card game.
(Right) And I'm the scorekeeper.
It's like, how many points do I have?
I don't have any.
Well then how do I give you 100 points?
I just write them down in your account.
I write them down in your account.
Do I have fewer points?
No.
And then somebody else has a bad hand and I take points away.
Do I have more to give the next person?
No.
Somebody in the card game says, like, "well that's not right, I should be able to just
change my own score."
It's like, fine, you want to have a card game where people can change their own score?
It's not going to work.
It's not going to function.
You're not going to be able to provision the government.
The whole point of the monetary system...the initial point...what I would say, as a point
of logic the whole point - I know there are other points, lots of lobbyists have all kinds
of points - is to provision government.
You want to be able to move people and real resources from the private sector to the public
sector.
I like these people who get together and say "we hate government.
We're just going to get together ourselves, and we're going to do this."
Well that is government.
And so, you start off and you say, "we'd like to have an army, we would like to have a legal
system."
Well how do you get people to move from the private sector to the public sector?
You could ask for volunteers, doesn't really work all that well.
It's been tried.
The way that we do it - now, you might come up with a better way - is you slap on a tax
in something that nobody has, then in order to get the funds to pay that tax, you've got
to come to the government for them, and that way the government can spend its otherwise
worthless currency to provision itself.
So the way I like to do that - explain that - is I take out my business card here.
And I ask, "does anybody in this room want to buy -" and this is called, 'How To Turn
Litter Into Money' - "does anybody want to buy one of these cards for $100?
No, ok.
Does anybody want to stay afterwards and help vacuum the floor and clean the room?
I'll give you my cards.
No?
Oh by the way, there's only one door out of here, and my guy is out there with a 9-millimeter,
and you can't get out of here without one of these cards.
Can you feel the pressure now?
You are now unemployed.
In terms of my cards, you were not unemployed before.
You were not looking for a job that paid in my cards.
Now you're looking for a job that pays my cards, or you're looking to buy them from
somebody else who will take a job.
The difference between the issuer of the currency and the user of the currency.
Yeah, absolutely, and that's government.
And I'm not saying you can't come up with a better system.
(And the last thing, there's no one out there with a 9-millimeter?)
*Laughs* Yeah, in which case this thing goes from being money back to litter.
The difference between money and litter is whether there's the tax man.
The guy with the 9-millimeter is the tax man.
If you can't enforce tax collection, the value of the dollar goes to zero.
