Not only do banks collect the inflation tax, but it also creates instability which makes a financial cottage industry for "experts". If maritimer interests can get a premium for safe passage, they will roil the waters.
Who looks at the weather when its predictable? Who spends resources on it? It is an inherently volatile system which also make fools ripe for further exploitation.

So we are getting scammed losing most of the interest tax to banks, and having a lousy store of wealth which causes more people to shop for "financial products".


Lets not even talk about government loan guarantees which allow interest profit to banks with losses passed on to tax payers ...and on it goes.


Its not the FED itself; its the system.
Could you translate this into English. Thanks.

Witty...
A slice of wonder you are. Yeast is yeast, and for you, it rises just the same in a cheap hotel in Tijuana.

Try to take it as a second language; that is if you can try and sell your curious noises as you native bowel.
