If I may ...
OK, I have 2 items on my menu. 1 is the current tax system. The other is the FairTax. Pick one.
Well then, I'm not eating at your restaurant. Don't like the menu.
Fiat currency is not just a crime and a tool for larceny.
Fiat currency is SLAVERY. Ultimately the most harmful effect of using debt of undefined value as money (i.e. fiat currencies) is the de facto legalization of a caste system based on voluntary slavery. The bankers have a charter, or the legal
right, to create money out of nothing.
You, you don't. Therefore you and the bankers do not have the same standing before the law. The law of the land says that you will go to jail if you do the same thing (creating money out of thin air) that the banker does in full legality. You and the banker are not equal before the law. ALL the countries of the world; Islamic or secular, Jewish or Arab, democracy or dictatorship; all of them place the bankers ABOVE you. And all of you accept that, only whining about fiat money going down in exchange value over time (price inflation which is not the same as monetary inflation).
Actually price inflation itself is mainly due to the greed and stupidity of the bankers who could keep fiat money's exchange value fairly stable, only if they wanted to. Witness the crash of silver and gold prices which the bankers of the world; Russian, American, Chinese, Jewish, Indian, Arab, all of them collaborated to engineer through the suppression and stagnation of precious metals' prices to levels around the metals' production costs, or what it costs to dig gold and silver out of the ground.
The bankers of the world could also collaborate to keep nominal prices steady (as they do in the case of the suppression of precious metals prices). After all, the ability to create fiat money and force its usage is a far greater source of power and wealth than that which is afforded simply by stealing it through inflation. The bankers' greed and stupidity blinds them to this fact. They want it all and they want it now.
In conclusion, the bankers can create money out of nothing and buy your goods and services with this worthless fiat money, effectively for free. You, you can't. You, you have to lead miserable existences for the most of you and WORK in order to obtain that effectively nonexistent, worthless credit money (whose purchasing/exchange value is not even DEFINED thus rendering all contracts based on them null and void!) that the banker effortlessly creates out of thin air with a few strokes of the computer keyboard, and which he doesn't even bother to print on paper anymore, electing to keep it in its pure quantum uncertain form instead, as electrons whizzing about inside computer chips which will become mute and turn silent refusing to tell you how many fiat dollars or euros there are in which account, in the absence of electricity. No electricity, no fiat nor crypto money.
You accept, condone and support your own slavery. You live and die and kill for fake money in full contempt of, and in opposition to truth (reality), honor and justice.
You are spending borrowed money, (all currency in circulation is the result of a loan, aka borrowed into existence), that somewhere, by someone, if not yourself as well, is being paid back with interest that was never created, on top of it of being taxed because you came into possession of it because someone paid you using the same borrowed money.
You must understand that the system is designed to keep you enslaved. Unless you target the problem, fiat currency, and central bankers, (The Fed), there is no real and lasting permanent solution. You, you are just kicking the can down the road by not opening up to the real problem.
