In my country, the central bank is creating inflation through its policies. That’s a common function of the central banks. (Who controls all these central banks ?)

Considering the fact that we’re already paying the taxes through the form of inflation, why should the government tax us on top of that ?

    I’m not about to get into what’s being hidden from me again.

    Oh, perish the thought. Governments hiding anything from you? Prepostorous! Don’t worry, Clyde - Obama didn’t really bail out the bankers that caused the Great Recession, Israel isn’t really perpetrating a genocide, climate change truly is a hoax, horse dewormer does cure COVID, and the ongoing dismemberment of the internet really IS all about “protecting children!”

    Did that lull you back into sleep?

    No?

    I wonder why.

    that the government is supposedly spending billions to keep from me, either.

    You think those lapdog economists they put on tv - you know, the ones that routinely tell you that the rich getting richer while the poor got poorer qualifies as “economic recoveries” - comes for free?

    That you of all people have the billion dollar secret?

    Lol! It’s supposed to be a secret?

      Lol, I love how you can’t figure out how to actually argue with my point; you took my comment specifically saying I don’t trust the government, and replied “Governments hiding anything from you? Prepostorous!” simply because I had the audacity to trust you even less.

      Don’t trust the government, and also don’t trust anyone who says they know what the government is doing unless they can back it up with real credentials. You don’t need to pretend to be in the know, it’s okay; we can kill a dictator without trading conspiracy theories about what their real grand scheme is. It doesn’t matter how the system is broken if the only way to fix it is to throw it away and get a new one.

        if the only way to fix it is to throw it away and get a new one.

        Good luck with that… you’ll be needing it, considering that you don’t have (or don’t think you require) the foggiest clue of what it is you’re up against - or what you even require to do so.

        Don’t let me get in the way of your magical revolution - I’m sure somebody out there is willing to hand you a warehouse full of brown shirts.
