Retirement “matching” programs are one of the lynch pins that is holding the fiat Ponzi together.
The IRS allows corporations to write off some of matched retirement funds so they are incentivized to offer the benefit.
The matching benefit incentivizes earners to contribute more to retirement funds.
This intervention has created a huge and unnatural equities index DCA army. This has turned the stonk market into a seemingly fool-proof way to earn ≈5% CAGR… but no fiat-maxis will acknowledge that inflation is compounding at ≈7% annually and slowly destroying the purchasing power of wealth “stored” in stocks.
Under a sound money standard much of what is today retirement fund capital would instead be cash balances in the form of cash savings.
There are around 42 trillion dollars locked up in the “tax advantaged” retirement fund scam in the U.S.
That is 42 trillion in savings that can’t be touched, which has helped keep inflation at bay as there is significantly less capital available to bid up prices of goods and services.
By the time many reach what used to be retirement age, they will not be able to retire because of the compounding and accelerating nature of fiat inflation and its downstream distortions. These people will be forced to continue working and over their 30 years of toil they will have lost 30-60% of the purchasing power they socked away in stonk indices.
What normals think is totally normal and functional is yet another fragile and unnatural state-engineered scam.
Thank fuck for Bitcoin.
