Wow, that was packed with lots of info. Money laundering to tax evasion to funding the military-industrial complex, to backing the US dollar with all the criminal money in the world to keep it afloat, etc.
It's needed because US capitalism isn't good enough to support the currency, despite all the propaganda we are fed any the merits of capitalism, and entrepreneurship.
A whole circle of crime and war, with the serpent eating it's tail. That's the Western way. Only the Devil could have invented it.
Entrepreneurship and investment involve risk. When huge sums are involved and the chance of getting caught or if caught punished is low, the incentive is obvious. Why place risky bets when free money is on the table for the taking.
