		<description><![CDATA[The current economic system is one where the 99% compete against each other while the 1% enjoy the show and collect interest. This is also known as &#8220;divide and conquer&#8221; &#8212; guess who has been divided and conquered? Our banking system institutes the desire to &#8220;beat&#8221; our neighbor in the economic game. We are taught [...]]]></description>
