“You’ll never hear peep about another group of tax evaders. This group flies under the radar every time. You see, when The Federal Reserve cranks out fresh copies of Bernanke Bucks, someone always gets their hands on the money first. These are the evaders of the insidious ‘Inflation Tax’. Think Wall Street, The Defense War-Making Industry, and the multitude of crony companies that receive government subsidies. They take their hot-off-the-press Bernanke Bucks and start spending them (bidding up prices). These are the lucky ‘winners.’ For they have found a way to evade the Inflation Tax. The rest of us suckers get stuck with the bill.”
