If you're angry about Elon Musk becoming the first trillionaire after a lifetime of innovation just wait until you hear about how the federal government steals over five trillion dollars from the American tax payer per year.
It took Elon 36 years of work.
In that time the federal government stole 105 trillion dollars in taxes. Not to mention the 40 trillion they took out in debt.
Did they solve world hunger? Did they give you free healthcare? Did they give everyone a house?
No. They blew up a couple million people living near Israel.
But, yeah. Elon is the real problem.
Printing money to fund government spending is a choice. Inflation is the consequence of that choice.
When inflation erodes the value of your paycheck and savings, the government is taking purchasing power from you.
It's theft.
@OrevaZSN Leftists think being a moral person means standing around making demands, instead of learning a damn thing about how anything works so that their hopes might be realized. So they simply pile up mountains of corpses, but they're sure they're the moral ones
“The most sinister of all taxes is inflation.
When you create money out of thin air to pay the bills, the value of the dollar goes down, and the poor and the middle class get hit with a higher cost of living. It is the most
evil of all taxes.”
- Ron Paul
There's nothing "offensive" about comparing the actions and mentality of Israel to those of the Nazis. What is offensive is demanding that one country and only it -- Israel -- be exempt from those comparisons because it hurts people's feelings, or because it seems "bigoted" to compare them.
The whole point of the Nuremberg Trials was that the precedents set there would only have meaning -- i.e., be something beyond mere "victor's justice" -- if those principles applied to the actions of **all countries** in the future. Israel doesn't have some special, unique exemption from the imperative.
