It would spark a movement for national financial literacy.

And once the lower class saw how the money in their accounts was growing, it may just entice them to invest even more money and live their lives wisely. Maybe instead of signing a high interest contract for the rent-to-own big screen TV, the single mother who is renting thinks twice about how her money would best be spent.

Money is Power

Is money is fascinating and glorious? Is it is a quite divisive and a separating force? What the hell is money? Money is sometimes considered a figment of imagination. Our money is an abstract concept that is backed by no commodity. What makes money worth value is the common belief that it has value. As long as everyone believes it has value, it has value. In reality, currency is just a piece of paper with printing on it. Most money today isn't even printed; it just flies throughout the air invisibly in electronic wavelengths moving it from one account to another. Get your paycheck by direct deposit, pay your bills with your credit card, and then pay off your card balance through an online transfer from your bank.

Money may defy an easy explanation, and the history of money can be quite intriguing. One thing money is though, at least today, is power.

What would be the social implications of the lower economic classes accumulating monetary wealth and owning stock in corporate America? What is that I read somewhere about the worker owning the means of production? It should appeal to the Marxist bent of some of our shroomy luminaries. Owning stock conveys to the holder the right to propose shareholder initiatives and vote at corporate annual meetings.
