Taxation is legal robbery. My facebook note on this “polemic” quote can be read here. Whereas, in the words of Milton Friedman, inflation is taxation without legislation.
Since the government is suffering from apoplithorismosphobia, their monetary policies are likely to act monstrously. They permit central banks to print money out-of-thin-air and issue open bonds to “automatically stabilize” the capital market.
