The Scam You Call A System
Alan Greenspan, former Federal Reserve chairman, said it plainly: “The United States can pay any debt it has because we can always print money to do that.”

Endless money creation by central banks is why your living costs skyrocket each year—it dilutes the value of the existing money… pic.twitter.com/pBFoxwF8v2
That’s not economic theory. That’s how your money is devalued in real time.
Central banks create currency from nothing, flooding the economy with new dollars and diluting the purchasing power of every one already in circulation. It’s why your rent, food, fuel, and insurance cost more every year.
Inflation isn’t an accident. It’s policy. It’s a stealth tax. And it’s permanent. Every new dollar created is a dollar stolen from your existing savings. You work more and get less — by design.
In 2024, governments spent $2.72 trillion on the military — the largest increase since the Cold War. The U.S. alone dropped nearly $1 trillion, while citizens juggled multiple jobs to afford basics. You’re told it’s about “security” and “democracy.” It’s not. It’s about control and profit.
El Salvador’s president Nayib Bukele didn’t mince words, recently saying: “The real problem is that you pay high taxes only to uphold the illusion that you are funding the government — which you are not.”
Governments don’t need your taxes. They print money whenever they want. The debt ceiling is theater. Fiscal cliffs are marketing gimmicks. The real mechanism is unchecked monetary expansion, and the fallout is dumped on the working class.
Taxes serve a different purpose: obedience. They create the illusion of shared sacrifice and buy-in. In reality, the money is funneled into a rigged game — upward, always upward.
Where exactly?
Military contractors. Bailouts for billionaires. “Aid” packages that loop back into defense stock profits. Lobbyists, cronies, and consultants. They don’t just siphon public money — they write the rules that ensure the siphon never stops.
Every dollar you lose to tax or inflation ends up padding the margins of politically connected empires.
This isn’t about left or right. It’s not about safety. It’s not about roads or schools. It’s all about power. We’re not funding civilization. We’re subsidizing its decay — and the obscene wealth of those who run it.
