When Reagan launched the war against the middle-class worker, industry in order to recoup when wages were being lowered,
convinced the American Public that credit was the equivalent of cash. The marketing campaign to enslave Americans with debt was less greed
on Americans part than it was indoctrination. Advertising agencies have made billions convincing all of us of the things we can't live without.

People are figuring out the truth and living more simply because of it.
