Not only do our leaders expropriate half of our money. They destroy the value of the other half they leave us. When the government is short of cash it prints it. The State declares that this monopoly money has real value because it says so. It does not.
Real money has objective value like a gold coin or is a receipt for a bar of gold on deposit.
Only a gun backs our money and that is not to be confused with a value. Inflation is a fraud against the inhabitants of Canada. We are forced to trade with worthless paper. We are paid our wages in paper and we are to try and save this paper that is devalued by half every time it's photocopied by the State. Inflation is a crime against those who earn and those who save.
