When the government announces that inflation is \u201cunder control\u201d, do you feel it in your pocket?
Are prices stable?
Has the rent stopped going up?
Has the shopping cart become lighter or more expensive?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
No matter what the technicians say \u2014 inflation is a silent form of institutionalized theft<\/strong>. Most people believe that inflation is \u201cwhen everything gets more expensive\u201d. Real inflation begins when the government spends more than it collects \u2014 and covers the difference by issuing money or debt.<\/strong> Mises summed it up neatly:<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cIncreasing the quantity of money does not create wealth. It merely redistributes purchasing power \u2014 from the last to the first.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n Contrary to what many people think, inflation does not reach everyone equally<\/strong>. As for the common citizen, the wage earner, the entrepreneur who works to keep his accounts up to date, receives last<\/strong> \u2014 with everything more expensive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This mechanism is known as Cantillon effect<\/strong>: a forced redistribution of wealth, without transparency, without debate, no vote<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In Brazil, the government insists on saying that it controls inflation with \u201cresponsible fiscal policies\u201d. Meanwhile, the IPCA may even give in a little on the charts \u2014 but rice, rent, meat and medicine keep going up<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Inflation is not a technical problem. Why do governments love inflation?<\/p>\n\n\n\n Because it is the the only tax that can be charged without you noticing.<\/strong> Rothbard wrote:<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cInflation is a subtle form of confiscation. The government can tax people without raising taxes \u2014 it just destroys their currency.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n When money loses value, the citizen loses autonomy. Inflation It is not just an economic phenomenon \u2014 it is an instrument of domination.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n And the cruelest thing is that the guilty ones themselves pose as heroes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n But it was the government itself that impoverished you.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The government doesn't need to raise taxes to take your income. While you work, the real loses value. Inflation is not an accident. It is a project.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n \ud83d\udce9 Tired of seeing your salary lose value while the State pretends that it's the market's fault?<\/strong> <\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Post anal\u00edtico que exp\u00f5e a infla\u00e7\u00e3o como um imposto oculto, funcional para o Estado e destrutivo para o poder de compra do cidad\u00e3o.

And the tax you pay every day<\/strong>, even without having approved anything.
And the most perverse: without knowing where the money went.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\nThe myth of \u201cnatural\u201d inflation<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
But that is just the consequence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The State increases the monetary base, directly or indirectly, and puts more money into the economy.
Result: there is more money chasing the same goods<\/strong>.
Prices go up. Your purchasing power melts.
And the politicians pretend to be surprised.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\nWho profits from inflation?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
It benefits whoever receive the new money first<\/strong> \u2014 large banks, government-linked companies, public sector.
These agents are able to buy before<\/strong> that prices go up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\nA State that spends and lies<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
But look what's behind the curtain:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
It is a political decision.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\nInflation is functional for the State<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
You don't see the invoice.
You don't receive a ticket.
But every month, your salary buys less.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\nThe cycle of dependency<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
He depends more on the government, seeks more \u201caid\u201d, accepts more intervention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\nWhat can you do?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\n
\n\n\n\n\ud83e\udded Conclusion<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
He just needs to spend more, issue more and lie better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
While you save, the State prints.
And while you try to understand what's going on, the same old guys keep profiting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
