The biggest, baddest, meanest price gouger of them all is...

[Jim Robinson]

...the government.

Bada bing, bada boom.

[CapandBall]

Thank you sir, may I have another.

Government is the ultimate robber baron
They raise prices (taxes)where there is no competition
They, by their size and laws, restrict competition

[Bullish]

Goes without saying doesn’t it?

[Herakles]

Then they run up a bill for 35 trillion and make you pay for it All the while taking your sons and daughters to throw into some meat grinder and foreign country this is an evil dictatorship

[Bullish]

Govt is the ultimate impediment to growth. Always has been in my lifetime at least.

And if you take your cash out of the bank, hide it under your mattress and sleep with your gun to protect it, they will still steal it through inflation. Since the Federal Reserve was founded to protect the money supply, almost 97% of the value of the dollar has been stolen. The Sloppy Service only guards against non-governmental counterfeiting. The Treasury and the Fed don’t like competition.

Truth

[henbane]

Tax-paying Americans get up in the morning and strain for their hard-earned money. The government demands a good chunk of it in taxes.

But the high-flying politicians in D.C. treat that money like it's their own pretty tissue paper to wrap up their pet woke projects--back-breaking inflation be damned.

Is my tagline a cry in the dark?

Followed by Taylor Swift.

Have you seen what her ticket prices are?

I tell people this all the time, They don't know what the hell I'm talking about. "Federal Reserve? What's that?" JFK lost his life trying to get rid of it.

So true, JimRob! Where did all of the money that the Government has collected along with the $35 TRILLION DOLLARS in debt, GO?

[no-to-illegals]

Prayers for your health and your website.
This IS the premiere and most important website on the internet.

might make a good campaign slogan

“Followed by Taylor Swift. Have you seen what her ticket prices are?”

Thank my lucky stars I’ll never have to buy one.

[motor_racer]

And calculation of “official” inflation figures NEVER includes the cost of government.

[PGalt]

Yes

[icclearly]

Isn’t it just another form of slavery?

[Bonemaker]

“Gauged” at the point of a gun no less! Pay up or it would be a shame if your business burned down and you went to jail!
