The process of running government deficits, which requires money printing, functions as a hidden tax on the populace via inflation. This devalued currency is then funneled primarily to those who own financial assets, systematically increasing wealth inequality.

Holding cash is a losing strategy because governments consistently respond to economic crises by printing money. This devalues savings, effectively forcing individuals to invest in assets like stocks simply to protect their purchasing power against inflation.

When inflation outpaces interest rates, it's not a market accident but a calculated government policy. This gap functions as an invisible tax that steals purchasing power from anyone holding cash. This wealth transfer from the populace to the government occurs without legislation, tax forms, or public consent.

When governments print money to cover deficits, they devalue currency, effectively imposing a hidden tax on citizens. The only protection is owning assets like stocks, real estate, or businesses whose value rises with inflation. Since 90% of Americans lack significant assets, they are most exposed to this wealth erosion.

The current US economic system isn't true capitalism. Through inflation and central banking, wealth is systematically siphoned from the middle and working classes and funneled to asset holders. This mechanism is a political creation, not an inherent feature of free markets.

To fund deficits, the government prints money, causing inflation that devalues cash and wages. This acts as a hidden tax on the poor and middle class. Meanwhile, the wealthy, who own assets like stocks and real estate that appreciate with inflation, are protected and see their wealth grow, widening the economic divide.

Printing money doesn't create value; it inflates the price of finite assets like stocks and real estate. Those who own these non-inflatable assets see their net worth skyrocket, while those holding cash or earning wages are robbed of purchasing power, creating a widening wealth gap.

The core problem for the middle class is a direct chain reaction: national debt leads to money printing (inflation), which forces people to own assets to preserve wealth. Since only 10% of Americans own 93% of assets, the rest are left behind with devalued cash and stagnant wages.

Inflation should be viewed as a form of government theft, not a natural economic occurrence. It devalues cash and wages while the resulting financial stimulus disproportionately benefits those who own assets (stocks, real estate). Not owning assets guarantees a loss of purchasing power through this wealth transfer.
