“Other than a small percentage of the population who have managed to build enough wealth to break the cycle through diversified investment and income sources, the vast majority of the population lives pretty much hand to mouth. Of the money you earn, close to a majority is now returned to the state in the form of taxes of all description (payroll, property, sales, income, etc., ad infinitum). Then, because it’s a rigged game, just like the company store, the money you do manage is steadily debased. And while the situation is bad, it hasn’t yet gotten desperate.”
