At birth, the first gift that was given to you by your parents was your given name, while you inherited your family name. At that point in time, your parents signed a statement of live birth meant to protect your name with a legal instrument. Your parents' signature on this document brings into effect a trust in your name. You become the beneficiary and your parents become the trustees of your name (eg. "John Doe") by which you are recognized and can use as an endorsement.

The intent of your government is to recognize you as a citizen through birth registration. A person cannot do anything "freely" in a society under a legislature without citizenship. Birth registration transfers no interest in property, it's merely a legal recording that is meant to protect your interest in your name and property titles. When your parents sent to the government the legal instrument protecting your rights to your name and title, a juridical person was then created with your name, always written in capital letters (eg. "JOHN DOE").

After accepting your birth certificate, you become proprietor of your legal person. You gain the legal capacity to enter into contracts, own property, sue or be sued. Additionally, you are subject to taxes, fees, bills or fines with your legal name on them. Henceforth, your personhood is governed under two separate jurisdictions, natural and judicial, by common law and civil law respectively. Your birth certificate provides proof of a usufruct between you and the Registrar General of your government, whose signature also appears on this official document. You'll also notice that your legal name is on this document, written only in capital letters, as it is in all legal documents, including your bills, and property titles.

The government is your usufructuary, whereby they use the evidence of your birth through a legal claim to administrate in your benefit. Thus your inherent birthrights have been seized and replaced with statutory rights. The government gains the right to use and enjoy the profits and advantages of your title as long as it is not altered in any way. One of the legal rights given to government through your title is to conduct commerce on your behalf, leveraging your title on the bond market, holding your person and property against the national debt.

Countries would traditionally leverage precious metals such as gold against their money supply to curb inflation and retain purchasing power. Today's economies use fiat money, valued only because a government has control of its property, and its laws declare what is legal tender. Fiat money has no value except for paying government debts and it's not being held against a gold standard.

What does that entail for us, if for whatever reason the economy was to stop producing equitable returns, what would happen to our person or property? Here we must beg the question: "who owns you?" And, if we are the chips on the table, what happens if our government fails us in this reckless gamble?
