Why don't the poor in America begin to abandon the dollar?

Asked by: 60 views , , , , ,

The poor can start by using something else as a when trading among themselves. They could use or a . Eventually they could leave the rich with giant amounts of useless dollars
If our currency had competition it would likely not be abused as much. Alternate are actually being used all over the US now. Utah accepts . If one needs to pay certain they must use dollars but trading among selves people can use anything.

    I think that is a good Idea. There is going to have to be a lot more humility in people’s souls before they wake up. Meaning in a few years there will be a lot more poor as you can’t pry the remote from someone who is paying compound interest to stay asleep

    It isn’t necessary. Because of the economic actions the liberal Democrat politicians have taken the dollar will abandon them.

    No one is going to trade for their crap when they can buy new crap with taxpayer dollars

    trade what? they’re poor?

    most shop at wal-mart and have service industry jobs… in other words, they don’t actually MAKE anything…

    Yeah they can go to the gorcery store & buy food with aluminum cans they found along the road. Great idea!

    I personally don’t believe, collapsing the dollar, is the wise chose… But I’d bet, you could get a following…

    LOL what are they going to use? Pesos? And which business is going to be accepting pesos? And which worker would be the first to volunteer to be paid in pesos? AND where would we get pesos? AND how could poor people possibly know the exchange rate to the point where they would know they aren’t being ripped off?

    Poor ( I was one when I was in my early 20s) need to start taking advantage of the hundreds of opportunities that this country affords them to move up the social ladder. If you stay poor, it is your choice. And don’t tell me otherwise, I have lived that life when the best meal I could eat was white bread with margarine spread all over it, or if I was lucky, a couple of slices of bologna. Don’t tell me crap about how the poor are being manipulated by the upper class or they’re being held down. You want to see true poverty, go to other countries. And I am from a "third-world" country, but I don’t feel third-world. Don’t tell me shit.

    lol…I see what you don’t understand about economics would fill volumes…having said that, in many circumstances barter has always been an acceptable form of consummating a transaction in the market place.

    Always nice to see how how compassionate liberals are always thinking of ways to destroy our country

    The poor dont trade amongst themselves. They largely lack means of production and are dependent on those who do own it.
