Constant global war funded by ever-increasing debt.
Heavily taxed citizens with ever-diminishing freedoms.
You can’t spend your money on just anything.
We must approve your purchases.
And only those who toe the party line can participate in the economy.
Money is controlled by the Government.
(As it should be).
All transactions go through a State-approved intermediary.
Nobody is allowed to transact directly.
We print fake money then lend it to you for profit.
Every time you use our fake money, we charge you a fee.
Every time you earn our fake money, we charge you a tax.
If you spend too much of our fake money, we sell your house.
But if we’re the ones who spend too much fake money? Well, let’s just say we have options.
The house never loses.
But the people on the other side of the table do.
I print my way out of trouble and you pay the price.
Don’t pay attention to the levels of debt.
And don’t ask questions when I tell you the debt’s good.
How many experts does it take to create a truth?
How many repetitions until a lie becomes reality?
I paid ten economists to say quantitative easing won’t cause inflation.
And now that’s printed in the news as fact.
Believe my facts and ignore your own eyes.
Technology is lowering the cost of production.
Yet you’re running on a treadmill struggling to pay rent.
You’re not allowed to notice this.
And you have to believe me when I tell you everything’s great.
Even though my rate rises will collapse the economy.
And then all my friends will buy up your houses.
You thought that if you worked hard you’d get ahead.
But that’s not true.
All that matters in this rigged game is gaining access to the fiat before the peasants.
Then convincing the money printer to do its thing.
