FractalsrUS. Good response... I don't agree that dollar dilution is a tax. The dollar is just another commodity really. The thing is that it can be created or destroyed at will. What you really have when the presses run is commodity manipulation. The thing is that the guys running the presses can be on the right side of the trade and they can direct the bailout money to banks that they own. I would be entirely hopeless about these things except I can see that these "world class" leaders are on a collision course with God Himself. He has a book out btw, it's a best seller, people ought to read it ............................................................. Lets define what a tax is.... When a government imposes currency costs on individuals... Next comes the question..... If I bite off half of your candy bar, rewrap it, and give it back to you....and say ....enjoy....see there....you got 50% of your candy bar back....but I want you to believe that it 's the whole thing..... I ate 50% of it....but you can pretend you still have it all.... And if I were not there.....you would have it all...... Case closed.....
