"Crime is based upon need, making money. Â……" — Jacque Fresco
"Crime is based upon need, making money. Â People sell drugs to make money. Â But if everybody is cared for, they don't sell drugs and if there's no money you can't sell drugs even if you wanted to. Â There'd be no such thing as gambling, prostitution, or selling out, or paying off a senator or a governor. Â There are no senators, there are no governors so you can't pay them off. Â If you take away the basis or the condition that generate abhorrent behavior, you don't have abhorrent behavior."
