In old folklore,
they eXisted
In families, that did NOT embrace the church,
they eXisted
and, the stories passed down,
show contact, has eXisted for a long time
trouble is, most were too scared to speak out
you see, many of them, too, also heard the stories
of 'witch' burnings, and, 'killings' in 'cold blood'
and, running for your life,
since, if you didn't -
for eXample in the UK
you had 2 options - catholic / or protesant
your choice !!!
(in ireland, they still fight)
after 1490,
and, the huge holocaust
(that was NOT recorded in history books
in south/central/and, north america)
who do you think, then owned all the land ???
certainly, NOT the people
and, if you can NOT own real estate
it is very hard, to ever get rich
of course, a church, can make people strave to death
very easily, generally speaking,
and, most people want to eat,
so, they aligned with the church
sinful, but true
my original home,
i could NOT afford to buy it today
my 2nd home,
i could NOT afford to buy it today
and, the 3rd home, the one, i am,
currently in, it has appreciated 3.8 times, in value,
from what i paid for it,
approx 17 years ago
people in south america,
it is pretty hard, for most of them,
to afford to buy land, etc.,
however, there are a lot of immigrants there
and, likely, i'll bet the statistics of ownership of land
between churches & immigrants
vs. the people who have been their for the last 700 years
likely follows an 80/20 rule
(and, likely, it is worse than that)
i do know, the internet, has assisted many people
in building online businesses, from south america,
to the rest of the world
and, has really helped the 'little gals and little girls'
just look at all the 'powersellers' on 'ebay'
Recent tax stats, are starting to show
more and more people, own home based business,
they have to, in order, to maximize their deductions
(and, income tax - now, that was a temporary war debt tax,
that, is anything, but, temporary)
