No, you don't just hold up a sign! You go to somewhere like a trainstation going into Chicago and open people's cab doors for them and ask for a dollar. Most people will be like, aww, it's a poor man… it's only 1 dollar… and give you one. Now assuming you do that for several hours, you should make something
Don't shave before you go to "work" and wear the same clothes to "work" every day. ( but make sure to wash them! )

At first I started answering your comments after the question but that would take forever to explain the scam.

Money or credits are released into the 'market' through banks on the basis and the amounts determined by the rich people that control those banks and 'our' government. Since the people that choose to use money to enable their trades of goods and services, are separated socially and economically and have little or no control over the government, these rich people can continue to survive and entertain themselves at our expense by manipulating numbers.

Our society is not prospering it is going further into 'virtual debt' that started before most of us were born. I say virtual debt because the only people you end up owing are the few people that own or control the banks. How can billions of people owe them? When you choose not to pay this debt you declare bankruptcy. Bank is not part of that word by accident.

The people must unite or continue to be fleeced and slaughtered like sheep.
