$250,000 back in 1980 is equal to $500,000 today. so the taxes should go up for people making $500,000 or more not $250,000 if we want it to be equal to what the tax rates where under Regan!
Why doesnt anyone ever talk about the biggest tax of all?

Ben Franklin2u---------- I have an MBA from The University of Texas and own and run my own company in Austin Texas. I don't have time to go back to school and no need to!
Inflation is the biggest tax we have and no one talks about it.
Go back and look up the definition of a tax, and then the definition of inflation.
You either cheated your way your school or your bullshitting. However irrelevant my law degree is, my Business 101 class in highschool taught me better than your useless MBA.
PS. You can start your own company without an MBA.
inflation is absolutely a tax, infact its the biggest tax that we pay, much more than the income tax. If inflation isnt a tax than what is it? is it nothing? the inflation tax fits all definitions of a tax, inflation is a tax, period
the gov who spends it FIRST. do you know what inflation is?If there are 10 products in the economy and each costs $5 ($50 in total money supply) and you as a citizen have $10 you can buy 2 products.if the gov prints a new $50 then each product costs $10 ($100 total money supply) , which means the gov can buy 1/2 the products and you with your $10 can now only buy 1 product.that is the same as anyother tax -the gov takes your purchasing power from you, inflation or income tax have the same effect
Inflation devalues ALL money, including the money the gov. spends. You cannot define inflation as a tax just because you want too. It's not a tax, it's nothing like a tax, that's why it's called inflation.
I just explained how its a tax but I guess you refuse to understand. since you will not understand from the angle ive tried to explain to you think if it this way, if the value of money goes down and the value of an economy goes up then how do you account for the difference? is it wealth that just disappears? does it vanish?. also the gov doesnt spend devalued money, it spends money which devalues all other money lol, did you really suggest that gov is suffering from inflation? lmao
its not a tax because I want it to be believe me, its a tax because it is revenue that comes from private citizens and gets transferred to the gov, how is that not a tax? why cant you understand that taking part of someones purchasing power is a tax no matter if it directly takes money or prints money to directly take value? either way the bottom line is we lose stuff and the gov gains stuff THAT IS A TAX
It is stealing and it is a tax. Legal tender laws and other forms of taxation prevent one from using gold without paying taxes (legally atleast). if instead of holding cash you buy gold or a gold etf and then in 5 years sell the gold for 50% more cash in order to break even and avoid the inflation tax you must then pay tax on the 50% "profit" that was made, you are essentially paying tax on other peoples tax. Legal tender laws make it illegal to contract and pay debts in gold.
you are right to say that it is stealing. but it also fits the classification of a tax because it is a source of income for the federal gov. if they take purchasing power from its citizens and then spend that money that is a tax. the method is irrelevant. sales tax takes purchasing power from the taxed, income tax takes purchasing power from the taxed, gov spending of inflation takes purchasing power from the taxed.
The method is not irrelevant, in fact the method is what's relevant to the definition, hence it's not a tax.
It's not about purchasing power, it's about money. Inflation is not a direct method of taking money, and it's not a certain method either. It's not a measure a gov. can take without penalty, as when the gov. creates money it's in fact a loan. ..etc...etc
We could discuss this for a year...
The fact remains, inflation is not a tax, it's inflation. There is NO reason to call it a tax.
purchasing power is money lol, are you serious? so wouldnt you agree that the gov can technically run without any tax revenue and only printing money to spend? well since that is possible I guess we finally figured out a way to run the gov for free and no taxes right? come on man stop being stubborn and admit that when the gov spends money that the fed prints out of nothing it is the same as anyotehr tax in effect. the reason its a tax is that gov spends it from the citizens, how is that not?
Because you would fail ANY ECO 101 class if you said something so stupid.
It's not a tax. The gov is not taking money directly, and there is no direct relationship between the money lost by the people, and the money taken by the gov.
Also there are other contributors to inflation; foreign investment, GDP, etc. It's not a tax, no matter how many times Glen Beck says it is.
I dont know what glen beck has to do with anything? but your wrong and its your faulty understanding of economics that is leading you to this common yet foolishly wrong position
I know you never said that, thats the point. because purchasing power is the same as money, infact that is exactly what money is. and losing purchasing power is EXACTLY the SAME as losing money, because losing money is losing purchasing power and losing purchasing power is losing money. your confused about what money is.
"purchasing power is money lol, are you serious? so wouldnt you agree that the gov can technically run without any tax revenue and only printing money to spend?"
You again:
"because purchasing power is the same as money, infact that is exactly what money is. and losing purchasing power is EXACTLY the SAME as losing money"
You contradictory asshole. you dont have a fucking clue.
how is that a contradiction? I said that purchasing power is the same as money and I said that if the gov could spend only inflation without other taxes than how is it not a tax, I was making the point that if the gov can sustain itself on inflation alone in theory than how is that not a tax? I was being sarcastic in saying that since that is all consistant with your beliefs of money then you have magically found the way to spend without costs lol
Keynesian economic theory proposes that changes in money supply do not directly affect prices, and that visible inflation is the result of pressures in the economy expressing themselves in prices. The supply of money is a major, but not the only, cause of inflation.
There are three major types of inflation, as part of what Robert J. Gordon calls the "triangle model"
if your relying on keynes and wiki for your info then its no wonder why you are way off. As I thought you have no idea what inflation is. Inflation is not simply higher prices, because ofcorse there are other factors that can contribute to a higher price of something. Inflation is the expansion of the money supply, that it. And when the gov spends money that is simply monetized and an expansion of the money supply that is a tax AND it is inflation. try thinking on your own instead of propaganda
"changes in money supply do not directly affect prices" lol wow, that is why you are so off man. just because the worst economist in the world has ever seen (keynes) said that doesnt make it right, infact it makes it wrong. To say that the number of units of account has no direct effect on how many units of account things are divided into is a joke man. money is a product just like anythingelse, if you increase the supply the price goes down, meaning the value of a dollar. are you serious?
The causes of inflation have many theories, none of which have been accepted as fact, especially your theory (Inflation as a tax)
There are MANY causes of inflation and increasing the supply alone does NOT have a DIRECT effect on inflation.
If you study inflation in other countries besides your own you can see that increasing money supply has decreased inflation in the past. How can that be?... Keynes attempts to answer that.
there are not many causes of inflation there is only one cause and that is increase money supply. you are confusing prices and price levels with inflation. That is a common keynesian and mainstream mistake. you can have increase inflation and lower prices at the same time. if the fed increases money suppy by 10% but the economy grows by 10% you think that there is no inflation there, but there is, 10% inflation, you just cant see it in your incorrect metric of prices.
I cant believe your still holding on to this insanity that inflation isnt a form of taxation. what do you call the following example? The gov wants to spend $1 billion, they get the fed to print $1 billion for the gov to spend (via purchase of treasuries among several other ways), then the gov spends the $1 billion, the new $1 billion is pure inflation. what is that? is that nothing? do you simply call that inflation? how is that not the gov taxing? why cant you understand this?
remember that currency is simply a unit of account and claim for goods and services. so the new $1 billion is a claim on existing goods and services, which means that the gov took purchasing power from the economy, the SAME EXACT situation happens when the gov taxes via income tax, it taxes claims for existing goods and resources via taking existing claims meaning taking purchasing power. SAME EXACT RESULT
oil prices go up because of inflation, not the other way around. if you refuse to understand that printing money is inflation then theres nothing more I can say
again you confuse price with inflation. inflation is the increase of the money supply, rising prices are just one of many bad effects of inflation. you again confuse money and dont realize that money is purchasing power, so if the economy produces more purchasing power and the gov inflation taxes all the gains you think that because prices stayed the same that there was no inflation, but you ofcorse would be horrifically wrong. think for yourself instead of looking to others to copy from
The idea of Inflation as a tax already exists, and it already has a separate definition from Inflation. Look up "inflation tax"... and you'll find everything you've said has been said, only with an understanding that's it's not inflation alone.
who said it was my idea and that it is new? the inflation tax has been going on for centuries. the romans used to clip coins and debase the metal vaule, that was inflation tax, but today its digital.
is not an equal trade and will take money out of the economy and allow the government to give it away to bankers and GM ceos. No thanks I would rater they spend their 250000 in the free market
250,000 thousand dollars went alot farther in the Regan era than it does today! Its called inflation. so taxing people who make more than 250,000 today at the same levels as in the early 80s
it is quite clear that you have no idea what money and currency are. money is simply a unit of account, so if you have more units and the same number of things to account than the things are worth more of those same units. it doesnt matter if wealth is in the form of money or products, because the fact is wealth isnt money it is available production, so if assets get transferred from one owner to another (via money) that has no effect on increasing the numbers of units of accounts.
Do you have a response to my comment?... Or just a bunch of bullshit about your cookie cutter world where everyone has one currency in one country, with a limited and countable amount of goods/services?
Inflation is more closely tied to Oil production than the GDP (available production)...
An inflation tax is the economic disadvantage suffered by holders of cash and cash equivalents in one denomination of currency due to the effects of Expansionary monetary policy, which acts as a hidden tax that subtracts value from those assets. Many economists hold that the inflation tax affects the lower and middle classes more than the rich, as they hold a larger fraction of their income in cash,
they are much less likely to receive the newly created monies before the market has adjusted with inflated prices, and more often have fixed incomes, wages or pensions. Some argue that inflation is a regressive consumption tax.
if the gov takes its citizens purchasing power and spends it I cant see how anyone can say that that is not a tax, its the DEFINITION of a tax. again you confuse prices with inflation, that is a common mistake, you should really learn otherwise
the way you will begin to grasp this concept is if you look at it this way: if the gov can spend its citizens money than thats a tax, well money is simply purchasing power and units of accounts for existing goods and services, so spending purchasing power through inflation is the same thing. how would you describe the gov spending its citizens purchasing power? not a tax? then what? is it nothing? how can you explain this lapse in your logic? how can the gov spend something thats not taxed?
CNN? Didn't CNN use to be a news channel in the 1990s? Does it still exist on some kind of cable access channel? Are there still people that are lame enough to watch it?
yes, one part of corp welfare would be ag subsidies, which I am against for the most part.
I only know of some abuses, and not enough to make a blanket statement of hatred for them all.
Especially considering how many farms arent corporations as far as I know.
The problem is, libertarians believe the free market will prevent any company from screwing people over for long because of competition and no gov there to create barriers to competition.

bill maher is a jack ass! he says conservatives want to cut the deficit but dont wanna cut defense, the anti-war movement has tons of conservatives, he just pretends there isnt anyone who cares about the wars anymore because now they are obamas wars and god forbid someone who is conservative can oppose obama without it being a partisan issue! Maher is such a typical liberal douchebag who pretends conservatives are the cause of partisanship, when he is just as bad.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
im not talking about congress, im talking about conservative people. how many liberals want to cut defense? obama has the biggest military budget in human history!
are you kidding? a lot of libs in congress want to cut defense. i can point to several liberal congressman that have spoken out about it.
Im not a Barney Frank fan but he wrote an article in the nation just a few months ago calling for a cut to defense spending.
you can talk all you want about the principles of conservatism and conservative people...but anti-war conservatives have no representation other than ron paul. And thats what matters...
i didnt try to, nor do i care to, you missed my point entirely. maybe there is only one repub in congress trying to stop our out of control empire, but there arent many more democrats. names dont matter. my point is that partisanship is ridiculous because both dems and repubs are the enemy. i do consider myself conservative but that doesnt mean im a blind supporter. maher just makes fun of conservatives cuz its safe and always gets a laugh, but it continues the mindless left/right bickering.
after all, it wasnt just republicans that sent us to war. the so called "centrist, moderates" democrats are just as corporatist as almost every republican...
the anti-war left has some representation...but its not effective.
and i think maher gets laughs at conservatives...but he is also criticizing Obama...as everyone right or left should.
But I think we both agree thought that reps and dems are basically two factions of the same imperial/corporatist party...
Obama campaigned on Change and ending the wars. Thus, he was expected by many to bring upon the lowest defense budget in decades. Obama said he isnt god like who could bring change overnight, yet he portrayed himself in that manner via useless rhetoric.
I sure havent seen enough conservatives in the anti-war movement (that didnt show up just this year) to say its any conservative movement.
It was maybe libertarians who wouldnt have dared vote for bush.
And considering how many votes bush got, its irritating how yall keep acting like nobody liked bush or supported his wars wich were very popular amongst all conservative polling.
I get it!! United Arab Emirates hugely benefited from the lie that is 9/11 with sky rocketing oil prices so it's only natural that you love the official 9/11 story & anybody who defends it since those lies enriched you. Have a guilt ridden day!!!!
So YOU are going to get ulcers, that's too bad for YOU. U.A.E is a rude 9/11 war loving shit-hole country because they benefit from outrageous oil prices & illegal wars, it's ALL clear to me now.=)
Yeah I'm angry because 9/11 WAS an inside job that led to the deaths of over a million people. I guess your okay with that as long as you make your oil blood money it's cool that innocent people are slaughtered for your benefit.
@ 777CARL777 - 9/11 was NOT an Inside Job brutha. And if you looked at more info than just news thats prefiltered through infowhores you'd know that. at least 20+ fire fighters that worked on building 7 confirmed that the collapse was due to fire, including both architects of both buildings, including Fire Chief Daniel Nigro who ran the whole WTC7 operation. Are you calling the firefighters at ground zero liars? Because thats the ONLY way you can say its an inside job.
I'm sorry, buildings don't collapse into their own footprint from tiny fires no matter what anyone says. I suggest you look into Architechts & Engineers for 9/11 truth. I also suggest you look into into WTC lease-holder (who collected billions in insurance) Larry Silverstein's statement that they agreed to 'Pull It' which is a demolitions term. So until you can show me ANY other buildings that have collapsed symmetrically into their own footprint from small fires then I'll take a look.
The fact is 9/11 WAS an inside job that launched 2 illegal wars, torture, rendition, secret prisons,PATRIOT ACTS l & ll along with the loss of liberties & privacy that we used to be constitutionally guaranteed. The 'Gulf of Tonkin' lie took 40 years to be revealed but millions are aware 9/11 was also a false-flag & millions more wake up daily!!

Bill Maher is a Puppet of Israel, he loves the Terrorist Group Mossad (who commits any assasinations that they want, in any country that they want, just so Hamas will seek revenge, and Mossad and IDF will end up committing Genocide again on the Innocent Palestinians in Gaza and West Bank, this Mossad assassination was completely criminal and it was done to make sure that Hamas seeks revenge and then Israel will kill Endless Palestinian Civilians). Maher is an Atheist so why is a VILE ZIONIST ??
Everyone who worked for Goldman Sachs in the past and is LOYAL ONLY to Goldman Sachs, they ALL now work in the Whitehouse, they ALL now work in the Federal Reserve, they ALL now work in Treasury Department, they ALL now Completely Control & Own Obama, Geithner, Bernanke, Emanuel, Democrats, Republicans, Congress. Goldman OWNS USA, it has Invaded the American Gov, it has Paid Obama & other politicians MILLIONS, Goldman created the Bailout, which ONLY Benefited them, they are now Richer than God.
US Government & Politics in DC is a Staged Reality Show
You only see the Actors (Puppets, both GOP & Dems controlled by Same Puppet-masters & Directors), you never get to see Owners/Directors behind the scene who control politicians, & plans all US policies.
Establishment Neocon Corporate GOP & Dems ARE SAME Party.
Banks, Goldman Sachs, Fed Reserve, Oil, War-Industry, Insurance, Lobbyists, Israel, AIPAC, JINSA, PNAC, CFR, Bilderberg, Rockefeller & Rotchschild are Directors & Owners of it all.
These Neocon/Zionist Corporate PNAC, CFR, AIPAC, JINSA, AEI, War Criminals/Lizards like Bush Sr, Bush Jr, Clinton And Obama are REINCARNATIONS of each other, when you get past the acting (Fake left right acting), they're ALL THE EXACT SAME WITH THE EXACT SAME DOMESTIC & FOREIGN POLICIES. Obama lies & makes more promises more than others, but when you get past all the sales bullshit, and look at their actions & advisors, THEY ARE ALL THE SAME.
America has NO Democracy, Only Corporations VOTE with THEIR MONEY, and only Corporations GET WHAT THEY WANT.
Washington DC and ALL US Politics IS ALL ABOUT taking BRIBES and politicians are ALL becoming Corporate Whore Lobbyists and are ALWAYS in bed with other Lobbyists, ALL OF THEM LOVE being SLAVES to Corporations & Corporate Bribery. Politics is a Game of Deception, Distraction and Betrayal and THE ONLY THING Politicians (Both GOP and DEMS) care about is getting Rich while Backstabbing USA.
GOP & DEMS ARE THE SAME AND THEY BOTH SUPPORT ENDLESS WARS AND ONLY WORK FOR CORPORATIONS & THE MILITARY INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX, THEY BOTH WORK AGAINST THE AMERICAN PEOPLE.
Every Establishment Neocon/Zionist Corporate-Whore War-Profiting Israels-Pawn Wall-Street-Puppet Federal-Reserve-Owned Republicans and Every Establishment Neocon/Zionist Corporate-Whore War-Profiting Israels-Pawn Wall-Street-Puppet Federal-Reserve-Owned Democrats in WASHINGTON DC and in USA ARE THE SAME.
The Ultimate Goal of Cheney, Obama, GOP, DEMS, DC, Congress, PNAC, JINSA, AIPAC, CFR, All Neocons/Zionists, Bush, Emanuel & Clinton

The Corporate, Fascist, Wealthy and NWO White Supremacists OWN Obama.
Obama's Masters : "The Whites have been getting too much blame and not enough respect, so we are going to put a black man in office, and he is going to be such a spineless moron and such a slave to corporations and everything else that is hated in America, and we are going to make sure of that, and this black man will show to America he wants to change NOTHING, when he is gone, noone will ever vote for a non-white man again."
Maher couldn't have "voted for Ron Paul" - Ron Paul didn't win his party's nomination, and wouldn't run as an independent. He was not on the 2008 ballot.
@PlebRule Maybe he was talking about a vote in the primaries. Ron Paul was on the ballot in Louisiana and Montana although I doubt Maher lives in either of those states.
He may be wishy-washy but that's because he is a rationalist. He isn't afraid to say that people aren't perfect and neither are situations.
It's sad that politics to these politicians and activist groups see politics as a game when it shouldn't because the fate is the future of the country and not some trophy.
I used to like Bill Maher, but realized last year that he is a fake like Glenn Beck. I've never liked Glenn Beck. These two just target mainstream listeners. They are in it for the money!
"bad freshman year" my ass, it's a game, their "reform" has always been a corporate bailout, but this guy covers for obama something horrible. it's two mobs fighting over the loot they extort together, hey democrats, lose the party blinders, you sound like republicans covering for bush's bull-shit, neo-libs and neo-cons all over make me sick.
@iTellYouNoLie, actually Maher was one of the first Obama supporters to call him out on several issues, even back when media was treating him like the next coming of Christ.
I think Bill Maher would make a good president.... We need a liberal as a president! If not a Rasta

If you want to frame it as a tax, it's a VERY limited way to look at inflation.
Firstly inflation only applies to the dollar, if your savings are in the form of gold then you aren't being taxed at all.
Its not a tax because you are under no obligation to pay it, just use gold, or a different currency.
Inflation sucks, and there has to be a better way, but it's still not a tax. It's more like straight up stealing.

It is stealing and it is a tax.

It's not about purchasing power, it's about money. Inflation is not a direct method of taking money, and it's not a certain method either. It's not a measure a gov. can take without penalty, as when the gov. creates money it's in fact a loan. ..etc...etc
We could discuss this for a year...
The fact remains, inflation is not a tax, it's inflation. There is NO reason to call it a tax.
BenjaminFranklin2u 1 year ago
purchasing power is money lol, are you serious? so wouldnt you agree that the gov can technically run without any tax revenue and only printing money to spend? well since that is possible I guess we finally figured out a way to run the gov for free and no taxes right? come on man stop being stubborn and admit that when the gov spends money that the fed prints out of nothing it is the same as anyotehr tax in effect. the reason its a tax is that gov spends it from the citizens, how is that not?
slickbtk 1 year ago
Because you would fail ANY ECO 101 class if you said something so stupid.
It's not a tax. The gov is not taking money directly, and there is no direct relationship between the money lost by the people, and the money taken by the gov.
Also there are other contributors to inflation; foreign investment, GDP, etc. It's not a tax, no matter how many times Glen Beck says it is.

I NEVER said "purchasing power is money"
I SAID: "It's not about purchasing power, it's about money"
Losing purchasing power is not the same as losing money.
BenjaminFranklin2u 1 year ago
I know you never said that, thats the point. because purchasing power is the same as money, infact that is exactly what money is. and losing purchasing power is EXACTLY the SAME as losing money, because losing money is losing purchasing power and losing purchasing power is losing money. your confused about what money is.

You:
"purchasing power is money lol, are you serious? so wouldnt you agree that the gov can technically run without any tax revenue and only printing money to spend?"

You contradictory asshole. you dont have a fucking clue.
BenjaminFranklin2u 1 year ago
how is that a contradiction? I said that purchasing power is the same as money and I said that if the gov could spend only inflation without other taxes than how is it not a tax, I was making the point that if the gov can sustain itself on inflation alone in theory than how is that not a tax? I was being sarcastic in saying that since that is all consistant with your beliefs of money then you have magically found the way to spend without costs lol
slickbtk 1 year ago
Here you moron: (From wiki)
Keynesian economic theory proposes that changes in money supply do not directly affect prices, and that visible inflation is the result of pressures in the economy expressing themselves in prices. The supply of money is a major, but not the only, cause of inflation.
There are three major types of inflation, as part of what Robert J. Gordon calls the "triangle model"
BenjaminFranklin2u 1 year ago
if your relying on keynes and wiki for your info then its no wonder why you are way off. As I thought you have no idea what inflation is. Inflation is not simply higher prices, because ofcorse there are other factors that can contribute to a higher price of something. Inflation is the expansion of the money supply, that it. And when the gov spends money that is simply monetized and an expansion of the money supply that is a tax AND it is inflation. try thinking on your own instead of propaganda
slickbtk 1 year ago
"changes in money supply do not directly affect prices" lol wow, that is why you are so off man. just because the worst economist in the world has ever seen (keynes) said that doesnt make it right, infact it makes it wrong. To say that the number of units of account has no direct effect on how many units of account things are divided into is a joke man. money is a product just like anythingelse, if you increase the supply the price goes down, meaning the value of a dollar. are you serious?
slickbtk 1 year ago
Are you still in high school or something?
The causes of inflation have many theories, none of which have been accepted as fact, especially your theory (Inflation as a tax)
There are MANY causes of inflation and increasing the supply alone does NOT have a DIRECT effect on inflation.
If you study inflation in other countries besides your own you can see that increasing money supply has decreased inflation in the past. How can that be?... Keynes attempts to answer that.
Go read a book.
BenjaminFranklin2u 1 year ago
there are not many causes of inflation there is only one cause and that is increase money supply. you are confusing prices and price levels with inflation. That is a common keynesian and mainstream mistake. you can have increase inflation and lower prices at the same time. if the fed increases money suppy by 10% but the economy grows by 10% you think that there is no inflation there, but there is, 10% inflation, you just cant see it in your incorrect metric of prices.
slickbtk 1 year ago
I cant believe your still holding on to this insanity that inflation isnt a form of taxation. what do you call the following example? The gov wants to spend $1 billion, they get the fed to print $1 billion for the gov to spend (via purchase of treasuries among several other ways), then the gov spends the $1 billion, the new $1 billion is pure inflation. what is that? is that nothing? do you simply call that inflation? how is that not the gov taxing? why cant you understand this?
slickbtk 1 year ago
Describing inflation as a tax accomplishes nothing, it's a silly theory that doesn't explain anything. Good luck with it.
BenjaminFranklin2u 1 year ago
remember that currency is simply a unit of account and claim for goods and services. so the new $1 billion is a claim on existing goods and services, which means that the gov took purchasing power from the economy, the SAME EXACT situation happens when the gov taxes via income tax, it taxes claims for existing goods and resources via taking existing claims meaning taking purchasing power. SAME EXACT RESULT

Read a good paper on Inflation today, turns out most of inflation today is from Oil prices, not the printing of money.
BenjaminFranklin2u 1 year ago
oil prices go up because of inflation, not the other way around. if you refuse to understand that printing money is inflation then theres nothing more I can say
slickbtk 1 year ago
Sorry dude I Am serious, its not that simple.
Your theory is shit.
It completely ignores foreign investors and the fact that money is backed by assets. Those assets can affect inflation as well.
You can't deny that, yet you still think only one thing affects the price, supply, and that's just not true.
BenjaminFranklin2u 1 year ago
again you confuse price with inflation. inflation is the increase of the money supply, rising prices are just one of many bad effects of inflation. you again confuse money and dont realize that money is purchasing power, so if the economy produces more purchasing power and the gov inflation taxes all the gains you think that because prices stayed the same that there was no inflation, but you ofcorse would be horrifically wrong. think for yourself instead of looking to others to copy from
slickbtk 1 year ago
LOL... you think your idea is new?
The idea of Inflation as a tax already exists, and it already has a separate definition from Inflation. Look up "inflation tax"... and you'll find everything you've said has been said, only with an understanding that's it's not inflation alone.

SO the foreign investors who started selling off their American money and assets (increasing the money supply) were taxing you as well?
I didn't know a tax could be levied by the people onto the people, that doesn't sound like a tax to me.
BenjaminFranklin2u 1 year ago
it is quite clear that you have no idea what money and currency are. money is simply a unit of account, so if you have more units and the same number of things to account than the things are worth more of those same units. it doesnt matter if wealth is in the form of money or products, because the fact is wealth isnt money it is available production, so if assets get transferred from one owner to another (via money) that has no effect on increasing the numbers of units of accounts.
slickbtk 1 year ago
Do you have a response to my comment?... Or just a bunch of bullshit about your cookie cutter world where everyone has one currency in one country, with a limited and countable amount of goods/services?
Inflation is more closely tied to Oil production than the GDP (available production)...
your theory is still bogus.

An inflation tax is the economic disadvantage suffered by holders of cash and cash equivalents in one denomination of currency due to the effects of Expansionary monetary policy, which acts as a hidden tax that subtracts value from those assets. Many economists hold that the inflation tax affects the lower and middle classes more than the rich, as they hold a larger fraction of their income in cash,
jeremy8080 1 year ago
they are much less likely to receive the newly created monies before the market has adjusted with inflated prices, and more often have fixed incomes, wages or pensions. Some argue that inflation is a regressive consumption tax.
jeremy8080 1 year ago
if the gov takes its citizens purchasing power and spends it I cant see how anyone can say that that is not a tax, its the DEFINITION of a tax. again you confuse prices with inflation, that is a common mistake, you should really learn otherwise
slickbtk 1 year ago
the way you will begin to grasp this concept is if you look at it this way: if the gov can spend its citizens money than thats a tax, well money is simply purchasing power and units of accounts for existing goods and services, so spending purchasing power through inflation is the same thing. how would you describe the gov spending its citizens purchasing power? not a tax? then what? is it nothing? how can you explain this lapse in your logic? how can the gov spend something thats not taxed?

@ 777CARL777 - 9/11 was NOT an Inside Job brutha. And if you looked at more info than just news thats prefiltered through infowhores you'd know that. at least 20+ fire fighters that worked on building 7 confirmed that the collapse was due to fire, including both architects of both buildings, including Fire Chief Daniel Nigro who ran the whole WTC7 operation. Are you calling the firefighters at ground zero liars? Because thats the ONLY way you can say its an inside job.
TRAVISTY4321 1 year ago
I'm sorry, buildings don't collapse into their own footprint from tiny fires no matter what anyone says. I suggest you look into Architechts & Engineers for 9/11 truth. I also suggest you look into into WTC lease-holder (who collected billions in insurance) Larry Silverstein's statement that they agreed to 'Pull It' which is a demolitions term. So until you can show me ANY other buildings that have collapsed symmetrically into their own footprint from small fires then I'll take a look.
