The Biggest Tax of All: How Inflation Quietly Steals Your Money Every Day

(00:00.5)

Mirror, mirror on the wall. What is the biggest tax of them all? Is it income tax? Is it property tax? Is it payroll tax? Nope. Nope. The biggest tax of them all is a hidden tax that, again, believe most Americans have no idea. It’s called inflation. That’s right. That’s right. Inflation is the biggest tax that’s out there. And this is part of the conspiracy to keep people poor and stupid.

Again, don’t like the powers that be don’t like people understanding how money works. We’re to play a game of pretend right now. This is a way I’m going to I’m going to explain this to everybody. Let’s say let’s say 30 years ago. 30 years ago, you say you graduated from college.

and your grandfather gave you $1,000 cash. And for whatever reason, it may be, whatever you got a job, whatever it may be, you stuck it in a drawer. You stuck it in a drawer at your mom and dad’s house underneath something in a book and you forgot about it. You forgot about it. And you come home, you come home for Christmas.

come home for Christmas, you go into your parents house, you got the kids with you and you’re showing your kids your you know, your own room again and you go in there and you like, oh my god, you rediscover that $1,000. You’re like, oh my god, I can’t believe it’s 30 years ago. put it here and I completely forgot about it. Well, that $1,000 is not $1,000 anymore. Okay, I want you to think of it this way. I want you to think of that $1,000 has being chopped in half.

chopped in half. Half of it, half is gone. So yeah, it may look like $1,000, but it’s only $500. So it is. It’s all it’s worth. Where’d it go? Where’d it go? Who took it? Well, again, the government essentially did. They’re $38 trillion in debt. And because they continue to debase the currency,

and they continue to print and spend and print and spend.

It’s a tax. Is it not? That money is not gonna go as far as it did 30 years ago. It’s gone. I try to get this across, because again, you’re hearing it now. I guess part of this grand conspiracy to keep people poor and stupid. We’ve gone $2 trillion further into debt this year. The administration is patting themselves on the back saying that the deficit is down.

I’m saying we’re $2 trillion further into debt, the deficit is down. We’re in a hole, okay, and we’re still digging. Okay, if you want to get yourself out of a hole that you’re in, digging isn’t necessarily the best idea, am I right? But that’s what we continue to do. It was funny. I’ve been trying to get this across to people.

as far as investing and investments are concerned, since we started Markowski Investments, and we gave the Heisman to the 6040 portfolio, well aware at what was going on, especially after, after September 11th, and we decided to go full out, let’s invade everybody, Team America, World Police, borrow, borrow, borrow, spend, spend, spend, spend, Your money loses.

loses about 5 % a year, every single year. And you may say the economy grows at let’s say 2 % because we don’t have that 1980s 1990s dynamic growth anymore. That’s a big headwind, right? So basically, what happens?

Price is double every 10 years. Every 10 years. So your savings essentially are cut in half in real terms every 15 years. And I try to explain this to people. This is why cash is trash and you need to be invested properly. And it needs to be put into proper perspective.

You’re not just paying your income tax, that’s paying your state tax if you’re in one of the states, you’re not just paying your FICA tax, you’re not just paying your property tax, your tax on your cell phone bill and all this other stuff. While you while you sit in that chair that you’re at right now, you got money in a bank account, you’re losing money, you cash was a package in your wallet, you’re losing money. It’s they’re going in there every single day. They’re going essentially going there every single day and

Take a little bit here little bit there a little bit here a little bit that’s inflation That’s what it is the goal the goal should be zero As I’ve stated I’m nauseam and I know we’re doing a lot of this this year end stuff here It’s important to understand how kind of the world works and money works. The goal should be zero zero percent inflation dollar should be a unit of measurement

not a way that we can secretively steal from the American people because that’s what they’re Watchdog on wall street.com
