Well if we are talking money I see it as this, every country has a national debt, the money the government takes from you pays this, look at your counties national debt, you will find quite a fair sized figure, for the UK ours is at least a third of GDP, and that's a low figure, in other counties it is much more, for America's national debt we are talking trillions of dollars, now who do you think is collecting on that debt, an international banker that's who, it ain't going to the tooth fairy, so basically a tax payer is a workforce in a corporation called (insert country name) that is indebted to a banker.
United States public debt

Its interesting wiki calls it public debt and not national debt, so that's you the general public, you owe money, 4.9 trillion for US citizens, in 2005 the public debt was 64.7% of GDP, so get your ass working then, Mr international banker owns you so you better get that money to him, don't worry the government will act as a collection agency, ignore this and you will find yourself in jail, oh yea, Bill Gates is the richest man in the world, of course he is.
