That's what inflation is, after all. Consider two scenarios:

  1. You have $1,000 in the bank and the government takes $85 as tax, leaving you with $915.
  2. You have $1,000 in the bank and the government prints $85, making your $1,000 worth $915.

Using #2 is a little more sneaky because people don't make the direct connection, but the effect is identical.

Instead of “government” I like to use “parasites” Also throw in “fees” and you have a full meal for those greed goblins.
