unbounded lifespan

That just caught my eye in the Wall-O-Text(TM). Quoting the context:

the central bank has these laws called "legal tender laws" that mean that you cannot pay taxes in gold and silver, and that such money is not legally used for banking. The primary importance of this isn't that you can't obtain gold or silver: you can. The primary importance of this is that you cannot access a wealth, savings, and capital-generating free market that has the ability to produce an unbounded lifespan for you at an affordable cost. The end result is that you die, when under other conditions, you would live. The official obfuscation of the issue is enough to confuse most people, and get them to choose death over resistance to civil government, and its corresponding possibility of life.

Around here, "unbounded lifespan" means literally literally not dying. Is this what you meant, and if so, what is this real or hypothetical "wealth, savings, and capital-generating free market that has the ability to produce an unbounded lifespan for you"?
