Looks like the real tax (inflation/money printing) is not helping pad the government pockets any longer. No surprise, the rich get first dibs at 1% interest, throw it on the stock market and we all know how the .1% pay taxes. An angle emerges that I never considered: Since real inflation is much higher than the government approved reports will say and the fact that wages have remained stagnant, the government is really feeling the pain in loss of tax revenue purchasing power. Combine this with a rapidly growing welfare state and here we are. Cant really increase wage taxes since they are already at 50% for most western countries. There is no option left but to try bullshit like commodity taxes. This is the fiat economy and welfare state tripping over itself. Still got one of those stupid vests from my blue collar days in the trunk of my car. Never thought I might need it again.
