Where are you from, Cuba? Tell me how this "confiscation" from the unproductive class creates economic output?

Tell me ooh wise one how taking wealth increases economic output because in your example it doesnt, it just changes who has the job .. I cant wait to hear this reply.. This is better than watching the comedy channel

haha.. WRONG.. if you are creating counterfit money, and you go to the store and buy something, you get real cash, but the store you bought from gets fake. That money is then REMOVED from the money supply when they deposit it in the bank and its discovered as fake.

Its not creating wealth

I cant believe how far you will take your flip flopping to prove you are wrong and continue to be wrong.

Did not, your first posting has been full on no stop humor, and every posting after it has gotten funnier and funnier.

Yep. Did you think I was a progressive or something?

I am for taxing the economic rents which is to say I oppose all monopolies.

IT DOES NOT redistribute because it REMOVES both the fake, and then the real money out of circulation

Please dont go... I cant buy this much humor anywhere else!!!
