The Big Squeeze
The Big Squeeze
Multiple wars being financed by the United States, zero sovereign border security save that offered by the cartels, and a Congress which is really, really good at its primary function...spending money...has resulted in economic calamity.
The result? Crippling inflation is at 40-year highs resulting in the US Dollar having lost some 50% (you read that correctly) of its purchasing power since Joe Biden took the Oath of Office on that chilly morning in January 2021 watched by thousands through Concertina wire in our Nation’s Capital.
American citizen taxpayers are being squeezed out of their own country; consider, every 100 days now another $1,000,000,000,000 is being added to the National Debt!
Without significant increases in productivity, the US Dollar will careen towards zero value; put another way, when everything is free, nothing has value. The REAL “Green New Deal” is the collapse of the US Dollar because baby, this “green” has no value.
Socially, if ever there was a group of unrepresented, unspoken for, downtrodden, ridiculed, huddling masses it is surely composed of US taxpayers. April 15th should be a National No Tax Day; the effects would be immediate and staggering.
A Tax Holiday would result in annual productivity spikes which would defy comprehension and immediately trigger a Nobel nomination in economics. Imagine a world where citizens didn’t have to pay their own government to launder money!
The one upside to paying “your fair share,” is that at least we can still pay in U.S. Dollars, instead of something of real value like say gold, bitcoin, or real estate. Thankfully the words “This note is legal tender for all debts, private and public.” is still WRITTEN on U.S. currency. Be VERY concerned when the US Government no longer accepts US Dollars.
