    Exactly! Thanks for watching all those ideas discussed right? Responsible peoples inheritance isn’t dictated at all, it frees them to get huge chunks pre-parental death, so the parents can share in the good they bestow, and guide them while still alive! Gifts, and incomes from parents happen now, economy thrives for all, since it doesn’t pay to wait, nobody has to! Watch “Inheriting an Abundant Earth” (“Occupying Chairlifts” 5.0) then sign the petition, and share it!!

    gov wont take any if you make arrangements, you give it all away to lots of different people and charitys, or gift more to anyone alive while you’re alive. It’s just a prompt to plan for your leftovers, and start enacting that plan within a couple years before minor new inheritance rule tweaks kick in.If you don’t choose to be socially engineered, you wont be!

    Well a large part of it is teaching responsibility, it isn’t even left vs right, or democrat vs repulican vs libertarian. It is Responsible vs Irresponsible. Today our public education systems reinforce Irresponsible behavior. This has to be fixed. When people are responsible, they’ll vote in Responsible representatives. All that *I* can personally do is create more videos that will hopefully make people think

    We actually have a $222 trillion debt if you count unfunded liabilities such as social security and medicare payments as corporations are required to do.

    yeaaaah, i’ve heard that, i’ve been debating to do something with that or not. .I do have another Money video rendering out, that’s more focused on spending rate (and gold), and I have some more planet videos coming out, I may incorporate the 222 trillion in a 3rd “money” video.

    VSauce showed me your channel, and I must say, keep making videos like this and the one with the planets at the distance of the moon from earth, and there will be another major learning channel on youtube!

    how much area would be covered if the bills were put side by side?

    yes, thou the real horror started thou with Woodrow Wilson, The increase in the price of gold. and hence the devaluation of the dollar can be traced to his policies. The Looting began (Have begun?) with him and has continued ever since. It has finally snowballed into the horror that it is today. and we are “due”.

    Still wrong and I think I know the mistake you have made. To convert m^2 to km^2 you have to divide the number by 1,000,000 (1000^2) for it is two-dimensional.
    Knowing the size of a 100-dollar-bill (157 × 66 mm according to Wikipedia) allows you to calculate that you could fill a total area of 1,658 km^2, enough to pave whole New York City with Benjamin Franklins portrait – twice – and still have 867 billion (5%) left to buy a huge cube of gold and toss it into the Hudson river.

    Great video!

    Did you know:

    If you placed $100 bills end on end in a straight line around the equator you could circle the Earth approx. 467 times to equal our National Debt of 16 trillion!
