I've been reading about over the past few years how the US dollar is losing it's value and the country is in a lot of debt. And when you see major companies closing and people losing their jobs it's a scary thought.

Exactly, many factors contribute to that. A very important one is when the US trades with other nations and they deliver their goods they are paid with United States Treasury bonds and now that we've lost our star for not paying off our debt and amassing the disgusting amount of debt, these countries are saying we don't want to be paid in bonds anymore we want, cash or other tangible liquid assets. This is probably one of the problems besides being rival super powers with China and Russia that they are making back door deals trading with each other and reaching around the US dollar.

It is because we are at the end of a currency cycle. This is 100% planned. it is called a "currency conversion" or reset. NAFTA was a framework not a finished product. We will be the North American Union. Had Hillary been elected it would have been all the Americas as an economic zone. The people of Europe weren't asked, We weren't asked. Asia won't be asked when they coalesce in about 10 years. (TPP was part of this. Trade agreements today are to equalize economies they have absolutely nothing to do with a "free market". The only reason I know is I talk to someone with IMF. You do keep hearing there will be no one to bails out. 2 trillion in IMF SDRs were set aside. Money the US government has already printed. Now watch them turn around and call it an IMF loan and the tax payers are on the hook. Ridiculous. They don't change the look of our currencies it is the underlying value and structure of the currencies. Central banking cycles were never meant to last forever. You won't find it anywhere on the internet but Britain had theirs in 1979. The only proof I could find was in a Margaret Thatcher speech. I explain further here.https://steemit.com/@abigailtipton

Exactly it's a system it's rigged by a group of people who make sure them and their friends make money so essentially the "rich get richer and the poor get poorer" if poorer was a word haha

There is only one super power right now.

So you don't believe Russia and China aren't super powers?

They are not super powers.

Really explain how so

Yes, great interview with wild man Kiyosaki.

I'm ambivalent about not paying taxes. Firstly, we need to understand the function of the government. The role of the government is to step in when there's market failure, for example, externality of burning fossil fuels, etc. The job of the government is to regulate the areas where private organization and individuals are financially or logistically unable to mitigate the problems posed to society.

However, the government in most society have grown too large, too comfortable, and too lazy. This creates a lot of waste! We are essentially paying incompetent people with our hard-earned money.

If only we could pay taxes on the projects we deem as necessary to the greater good. Otherwise, we should all not pay taxes and use our own money to drive changes to society.
