WHERE DOES THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT GET THE COVER TO STEAL YOUR WEALTH?
Are we ignorantly providing that cover?
I have written about inflation, and the insistence of some to refer to, “the free market,” as, “capitalism.” Many just don’t understand my point. They see no danger in accepting inaccurate, deceptive, misapplications of words, that have REAL MEANINGS.
What do I mean? Well, how would you feel if someone confiscated 100% of the silver dollar coins that you had been able to save, over a lifetime, and they replaced them with quarters? They would not have given you four times as many coins, rather they removed your dollars, and reimbursed them with the identical number of quarters. Would you feel that you had been respected? Would you consider this a fair trade? Would you have equal buying power as you applied the use of these, “quarters,” to take part in commerce?
My point is, the printing, or the digitization of, “money,” does not, “lead to inflation,” it IS INFLATION. It does not lead to the devaluation of your currency, it is the very act of devaluation of currency, and it is through the ignoring this fact that we enable our, “public servants,” to rob us blind.
Though Milton Friedman was a brilliant man, and a talented debater, as he communicated, his illustrations of free market principals, (dollars chasing goods,) is not an accurate depiction of inflation. True, in a free market system, prices can be determined best by the principal of, “supply & demand,” but this has nothing to do with inflation, or the value of currency. The value of currency is a matter of math. One quarter is 25% of a dollar, it doesn’t matter how many quarters, or dollars you have, or how much goods and services are available to trade them for.
Another smokescreen used by intellectuals to cloud the theft of resources from those that work to provide goods & services, by those that would rather that you work, and they receive the wealth, is the use of the word, “CAPITALISM.”
Such brilliant, and studious conservative Americans as, Milton Friedman, Thomas Sowell, Dan Bongino, Glenn Beck, Rush Limbaugh, Mark Levin, (among many others,) insist upon replacing, “the free market,” with, “capitalism,” as though they are synonyms. This is a subtle distinction in terms, but I believe that the ramifications are much greater than many recognize.
The primary focus of, “capitalism,” is on capital. What is capital? Capital is physical wealth. It is either the wealth created by production, or the currency that represents that wealth. It is not a principal. The principal upon which, “capitalism,” relies, is the, “free market system.” The free market provides for the use of capital, but it is not reliant upon the existence of currency. The free market can easily be exercised by the use of barter. Currency merely makes transaction easier, and more convenient.
You may ask why I am so exercised over the inaccurate use of these terms, “inflation,” and, “capitalism.” It is because of my affection for truth, and my fellow man, especially those that also revere truth, and honesty. I have a disdain for theft, and those that use the gifts, and talents, given to them by God, to trick others out of the fruits of their own physical, and/or intellectual labor.
One of my goals is to inspire clearer thinking by my fellow Americans, and recognition of the ploys, and deceptions, being used against them. I hope to see a time when my fellow Americans resist those that seek to steal the fruit of their labor, and using the correct terms is a good place to start. Ambiguity is deceptive, and the best defense against deception is the use of clear, accurate language. Marxists thrive on plundering the unobservant. Their goal is to steal power, and resources from those that earn it, and the use of deceptive language is a chief component of their strategy. By redefining terms, and constant repetition of inaccurate terminology, they achieve their goal of getting their victims to assist in their own victimology.
God bless you, Dave
