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

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.

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?

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?

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

“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!
