That’s not true you stupid frick

If someone is pulling in a top 10% income they're likely not crying about taxes

It's usually the lower middle class crying about the very paltry taxes they actually pay

And you probably go about your life without the slightest fricking clue of how many government services you use

The people that bitch the most about taxes don't really pay that much

Totally, as I mentioned above, I guarantee they use services off my money. Im just educated enough to know what is funded and that taxes are a necessary evil.

Says the person who doesn’t pay ??

I have 8,000 rounds. Guess I need to start buying more.

To my FBI monitor, those are rounds of liquor shots.

suddenly have the wherewithal to decrease our money supply

Well, first it's the Fed, with the same makeup as existed under Trump. The Fed for the past two or so years has been tightening the money supply, it does this by selling its assets into the market and sucking that cash out of the system - reducing the money supply. Here's an explanation of QE (easing) and QT (tightening):

quote:

Quantitative easing (QE)

Quantitative easing involves a central bank buying assets in the open market. This usually involves government bonds, the safest asset in the fixed income area, but in some cases, for example, the Bank of Japan, central banks have moved on to other types of assets further along the risk spectrum.

The technical way that quantitative easing helps boost the economy is that if the central bank is spending money to buy these bonds, it is putting that money into the economy. So those institutions that would have traditionally sold those bonds to the central bank now have, let’s say £100 for that bond to use for something else. If they are a financial institution, they may invest it in another type of asset which then helps that asset market; if they are a bank, they might use it to lend out to customers and consumers, stimulating the economy in that way. If they are a household who would now have money from these bonds, households may again spend this money in the retail or housing market.

Quantitative easing is an easing of the economy, easing of money into the system, allowing growth to come from increased money supply.

Quantitative tightening (QT)

Quantitative tightening is exactly the opposite. It’s taking back that money supply by no longer buying assets in that market but selling assets. In this way the central bank sells its balance sheet assets, basically all the bonds that they’ve got at their balance sheet at the moment, and reduces the money supply floating around in the economy. Central banks at the moment (November 2018) are considering QT in some way: the United States Federal Reserve is reducing its balance sheet at a very soft pace per quarter, but is still reducing the amount of assets that it owns, and thereby the amount of assets that it’s purposefully circulating in the economy. The European Central Bank is no longer adding as much to its balance sheet – this means it’s not in ‘tightening’ phase, per se, but it’s more neutral than it was one year ago.

The Fed since June 2022:

3. What is the scope of the Fed’s current QT?
The Fed has been shrinking its asset holdings — mostly Treasuries and mortgage bonds backed by government agencies — since June 2022. The current pace allows a maximum of $60 billion in Treasuries and $35 billion in mortgage-backed securities to mature every month without replacement. That $95 billion pace is nearly double the peak rate of $50 billion the last time the Fed trimmed its balance sheet, from 2017 to 2019.

Trump really didn't like the pre-covid tightening, which was being done after nearly a decade of easing and zirp:

quote:

---

“I personally think the Fed should drop rates. I think they really slowed us down. There’s no inflation. I would say in terms of quantitative tightening, it should actually now be quantitative easing,” he told reporters as he departed the White House on Friday. “You would see a rocket ship. Despite that, we’re doing very well.”
