Counts can drive America into debt, while they fail to pay back their own debts to American society. Counts game debt of all kinds to increase their Money Counts and avoid responsibility.
And this violates
fundamental
American values.
It makes sense for America to flex our power and take on debt to deal with specific challenges. But we don’t believe in borrowing recklessly, and we don’t believe in burdening our kids with debt.
Extreme money can turn any regular problem in America into an extreme threat. Elite, entitled Counts endanger America by wielding extreme E8, E9, E10, E11 Money Counts to:
- Use America’s national debt for self gain. When America borrows tens of trillions of dollars, it makes more money available for Counts to target and collect. In this way, the extreme Money Counts of the Counting Class are sponsored by our massive US national debt.
- Force more debt by hoarding Public Gains. Counts hoard the Public Gains of America for themselves, leaving our national government without the money to keep Public Investment up to American standards. To save public options, we’re forced into more debt.
- Deal in debt to prey on America. Counts push more debt on American corporations, American governments, and American families. For Counts, this debt is a strategy to raid wealth, careless of its effects on corporations, governments, and families.
- Game debt to avoid taxes. Counts game debt to shelter their extreme Free Income from taxes. To avoid any taxes, Counts can just borrow against their total Money Counts, over and over again. In this way, Counts take advantage of weaknesses in our outdated institutions.
- Put the damage of debt on Americans. Heavy debt can send families into bankruptcy, it can destroy businesses, and it can force governments to slash essential services. But the Counting Class can use extreme money to insulate itself from any damage.
- Over-extend America. Counts have left America without the flexibility to deal with future challenges. Our Public Extensions are over-extended. This leaves young Americans with crushing debt to repay. This steals the American Dream from young America.
On the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, the Big Woods Declaration (BWD) renews the call for life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, free from the corruption of extreme money.
