part of his honest earnings.
Capitalism can be made to work efficiently if it is separated from Financialism, but will be wiped out entirely if it continues to aid and abet this monstrous game.
PESSIMIST: Well, just how are you going to weed out Financialism and retain Capitalism?
ANOTHER DIRECT CREDITS OFFICER: The Lawson Money System says that GOLD must be abolished as money and everybody prohibited from using it to pay for anything.
Paper currency must be made the standard of exchange and issued in sufficient quantities for all trade purposes. Interest and all other forms of payment for the use of money must be abolished and prohibited. Control and supervision of money must be by the government who will operate all banks and other financial institutions. Private banking must be prohibited.
PESSIMIST: In that case what would become of the bankers?
ANOTHER DIRECT CREDITS OFFICER: The bankers would be employed by the people’s own government instead of being employed by scheming Financiers.
PESSIMIST: What is the general result that your organization is striving for?
ANOTHER DIRECT CREDITS OFFICER: The purpose of this organization is to see that laws are enacted that will give justice to everybody and harm nobody.
Nobody should ask for Justice who is unwilling that everybody should have it.
Everybody who helps to create the wealth of the nation, between the ages of 21 and 65, has done enough work to pay their living expenses during the remainder of their natural lives. So the credits allowed the individual past 65 years of age will be considered earned and not as charity.
PESSIMIST: Well, speaking for myself, what would I actually get out of such a plan?
ANOTHER DIRECT CREDITS OFFICER: The Lawson Money System will give you a purchasing power equal to your productive power. You will get exactly what you earn. You will not get what some other fellow earns under this system any more than the other fellow will get what you earn.
PESSIMIST: Well, you certainly surprise me with your quick and clear answers. I have actually learned more about Economics here in thirty minutes than I learned during my six years at college. Therefore to further improve myself I would like the privilege of signing an application for membership in such an enlightened organization and would also like to attend one of your LAWSONOMY classes each week.
JUSTICE: That is splendid, so let us all sing vociferously the Direct Credits Song entitled, UNCLE SAM, WE’LL STAND BY you.
