None of the above.
It represents my frustration at peoples inability to see the UTTER corruption of the world banking system.
It was not the defaulting on loans back in 08 and before that caused the international collapse. People refuse to see this. It was the international corrupt banking cartels manipulation of interest rates on an unimaginable (this "unimaginable" bit is part of the problem) level.
Please look in to LIDOR and ISDAfix.
These rates control entire countries debt. And they are manipulated to the profit of a very small group of unelected people.
The debt on you or anyone else's mortgage in NOTHING in comparison.

I suppose you mean Libor, Richard?
I agree with you about the amount of corruption.
So much has already been directly proven of corruption and even a whole lot more is, despite being circumstantial, very clearly corrupted.
The sad thing is, we all know it's the tip of the iceberg.
I'm even afraid it's the grain of the tip of the iceberg, simply blown away by those unelected people you're referring to.
Without that grain or broken tip of the iceberg there's way enough left for them to regain what's "lost".
It's rooted deeply into everything around us and I'd like to refer to (one of) my first posts here where I briefly explained we're in the first place born because our parents loved to have and do love a child, but for the rest it's only meant you serve the system. You go to school, taught you need to learn a job, serve the system, consume, work until you're almost dead and then die. Thank you for your labor AND your money (how capitalistic is that huh, well it is not, it's corporatism through slavery).
Luckily I only think like this in discussions like these, because it's a supersad truth without much hope for change.
Very depressing if you can't detach yourself from this truth.
At least it's true in my eyes. I do not think a couple of unelected guys invented this way of life deliberately as part of some conspiracy (hate to use that word!), but they definitely slowly created this world of financial slavery by debt.
