Money is created in our banking system primarily through a process called fractional reserve banking, where banks lend out a portion of the deposits they receive. This lending multiplies the money supply because each loan becomes a new deposit in another bank, which can then be partially loaned out again.
For massive money giveaways, the government cannot steal enough from your paycheck. The government needs to print excess money. When the government prints extra money without a corresponding increase in goods and services, the overall money supply rises while the economy's output stays the same. This imbalance leads to more money chasing the same amount of goods, which drives prices up—resulting in inflation. Over time, the value of money decreases, and consumers need more currency to buy the same items they could afford for less before.
There is a law of economics. It is the “Law of Supply and Demand”. The price of things is affected by the availability of things, and the demand for them. This also holds true for the cost of labor. If there is a large supply of unskilled uneducated people, then the amount that an employer will pay is low. If it is difficult to get help, then an employer must pay more to get what limited supply is available. This is a simple law of nature. You cannot fight nature. People are paid what they are worth.
If you force people to be paid more than they are worth, something must happen to get nature back on track. The only thing the nature of the economy can do to fix this issue is for prices to increase. Once the prices go up, the people are once again paid what they are worth, and nature is happy. We have established a new equilibrium. We have accomplished nothing except to screw retired people.
The consumers of goods (us people), pay a price for the things we buy. That price is always above the store’s cost. For the store to stay in business, it must make some profit. This profit is usually about 10% above the store’s cost of goods plus all its expenses (including taxes, wages, and insurance). If you raise taxes on a business, it will pass the cost on to you. Whatever theft occurs at a store you will have to pay for it. If you do not pay for the theft, the store will not be able to remain in business.
If the government makes it legal for people to steal goods from the stores, then it makes sense that the cost of goods will increase. If the government instructs the police to let people steal, then it also makes sense for costs to go up. If the government sets criminals free, it makes sense for costs to go up. Whatever bad happens, you must pay for it one way or another.
In the past, neighbors often played a vital role in each other’s daily lives, forming close-knit communities built on mutual trust and cooperation. People looked out for one another, offering help with farming, childcare, repairs, or cooking, especially during hard times or major events like harvests, illness, or storms. It was common to borrow tools, share meals, or help raise a barn or fence, with no expectation of payment—just a shared understanding that support would be returned when needed. This spirit of neighborliness created strong social bonds, reduced isolation, and allowed people to face life’s challenges together, relying on community instead of always turning to outside services.
