Well, here lies the scam. Of course, the money isn’t real, but the productivity behind it is tangible and real. And we stupid citizens trade our productivity for these Federal Reserve notes.
Thus, through the process of taxation and inflation, central bankers divert our tangible productivity in exchange for scraps of paper. And since they are the first to spend money in the economy, they get to buy assets at pre-inflated prices. Once that money is pumped through the economy, it devalues the currency, which invariably forces its pre-inflated asset to increase in value.
If it weren’t tyrannical and destructive, you’d almost have to give them credit. He’s a goddamn genius, but shit has to go. End the Federal Reserve immediately and end the income tax as well.
