“Nobody has the right to live their lives being protected from offense or from insults or from hurt feelings. It is an occupational hazard of living in society.” — Ann Widdecombe

The Federal Reserve inflates the money supply. Inflation makes prices rise all the time. Prices used to fall over time. When prices rise over time, the future becomes uncertain. You don’t know what your money will buy in the future. Thus, you must constantly chase ever more money because the value of your profits/savings and constantly slipping through your fingers like sand. Businesses must constantly chase profits. Normal people have to put their savings in the stock market. The poor can’t save. Inflation is cancer for a society, and we are witnessing it in its late stage.

For all those wondering how people in the past could be such suckers for war propaganda, look no further than all the folks regurgitating it currently.

@magattew Socialism and communism never make sense!

Some people say “Black lives matter” while attacking the very economic freedom that could help Black people build wealth.  Make it make sense.

The best Roman emperor debased the currency the least. That is the only ruler you should measure. Augustus minted the denarius at roughly 95 percent silver and kept it there. Prices stayed stable for decades. Trade flowed across the Mediterranean because a merchant in Alexandria trusted the coin a merchant in Gaul handed him. Sound money built that empire, not the legions. Now meet the villain: state debasement, the ancient version of the printing press. Nero started the rot in 64 AD. He clipped the denarius to about 90 percent silver and shaved its weight. He needed to pay for his fire-ravaged Rome and his own excess, so he stole purchasing power from every Roman who held a coin. Classic inflation. You do not vote on it. You just wake up poorer. By the time you reach Caracalla in 215 AD, the silver content sits near 50 percent. He also invented the antoninianus, a coin marked as two denarii that carried the silver of one and a half. Fraud stamped in metal. Then comes the worst of them: the stretch running through Gallienus around 265 AD, when the "silver" denarius held maybe 5 percent silver and looked like a bronze slug dipped in a shine. Prices exploded. The empire's economy fractured into barter. Diocletian answered in 301 AD with the Edict on Maximum Prices. He blamed merchants for the inflation he and his predecessors caused, then set price ceilings on over a thousand goods with death as the penalty. Sellers pulled their goods. Shortages spread. He created the disaster and then punished the people trying to survive it. You know this pattern. Every central bank repeats it: debase, deny, then criminalize the response. So rank your emperors by the coin, not the conquests. Augustus kept his hands off the silver. Gallienus and Diocletian robbed the whole empire and called it governance. The metal never lies about the man.

every political problem has a market solution security? private defense and arbitration roads? private ownership and tolls dispute resolution? competing arbitration firms currency? competing private currencies education? private schools and homeschooling charity? voluntary mutual aid societies the objection is always the same "but what about the poor?" as if the state helps the poor as if taxation doesn't hurt the poor most as if regulatory barriers don't prevent the poor from competing voluntary association solves problems coercion creates them

@alon_mizrahi I defend capitalism, and I am not sick. You should to go to Mises.org and learn about Austrian economics and libertarianism. You just can't go on giving capitalism a bad name. @mises

@RepMonicaDLC That's great, but a more pressing matter is the fact that millions of Americans are enslaved to income taxation. It's time to end the IRS. Refraining from threatening your peaceful citizens with cages to take the fruits of our labor ought to be the bare minimum standard here.

HOY TOCA DESMONTAR ALGUNAS MENTIRAS: 1. El Estado no representa la voluntad del pueblo, representa a quienes ejercen el poder. 2. Los derechos no los concede el Estado, los derechos preceden al Estado. 3. La propiedad privada no es un privilegio, la propiedad privada es un derecho. 4. La sociedad no está por encima del individuo, el individuo está por encima de cualquier interés colectivo. 5. El bien común no justifica cualquier coerción, el fin no justifica los medios. 6. La democracia no legitima cualquier decisión, la mayoría no convierte en justo lo injusto. 7. La desigualdad no es injusticia, forzar la igualdad sí lo es. 8. La jerarquía no es opresión, muchas jerarquías surgen de acuerdos voluntarios. 9. El Estado no sabe mejor que tú lo que necesitas, nadie conoce mejor tus necesidades que tú mismo. 10. Más Estado no significa más justicia, de hecho es lo contrario. 11. La solidaridad forzada no sirve, solo tiene valor cuando es voluntaria. 12. El interés individual no perjudica al conjunto, el interés egoísta beneficia a todos incluso cuando no tenga la intención de hacerlo. 13. La libertad nunca debe ceder ante la igualdad, sin libertad la igualdad termina siendo esclavitud.

@navyhato I’ve seen this playbook before. Take an established show/movie, race/gender swap the main characters, create shitty show/movie that is nothing like the original, show/movie bombs, blame its failure on racism/misogyny/transphobia/etc. Wash, rinse, repeat.

@DemzDeliver This is what it should be. Voluntary funding. DNC, you should turn into a go fund me type bbn organization. Preach the word of helping fellow man. Get out of government.

@CptAncapistan This dude is evil.

It’s been said before, but Ayn Rand really nailed it with her villains.

@AGDugin Pure communism! I suggest listening to Ayn Rand's Anthem youtube.com/playlist?list=…

The very concept of the success is deeply immoral. If you are successful the other is loser. We shouldn’t accept it. We should prosper or suffer together. Otherwise it is satanic.

@TimePreference_ Look at all these tax cattle, mad at someone for pointing out the tax farm. Their argument: if you can leave (no matter how difficult), it is immoral to not just take all the abuses heaped on you. The USA revolutionary war was immoral too?

taxation is not a social contract you never signed no opt-out clause no negotiation no consent it's a protection racket with better branding pay or we seize your property pay or we cage you pay or we garnish your wages the mafia offers the same deal the difference is the mafia doesn't call it civic duty
