@no1marauder saidSure. Money is just medium of exchange. And a contract, written or oral, between you and me...it only has value because you and I say so.
Money is funny looking pieces of paper. It has value only because we say so.
No lawyers don't produce anything tangible either. Most of the money that flows to them in the US does so from the wealthy and corporations so that they can figure out ways to get them wealthier by using the innumerable ways the system favors them.
Now, since you say above that stockbrokers don't produce anything tangible, that we could get rid of them. But THEN you say, here, that Lawyers don't produce anything tangible.
So following your logic, if stockbrokers and lawyers 'magically disappear' tomorrow, we can get along without them?????? Because they don't produce anything that is tangible???? Could you elaborate on this for a moment, we cannot got past it until it makes sense.
Then we can gleefully apply 'the wealthy and corporations' to the scenario.
