If you need & have to work for something that others can create in unlimited amounts for free, you are a slave.

Arbitrary inflation is monetary debasement & indistinguishable from perfect counterfeiting. Counterfeiting is illegal because it's theft. Issuing new stock isn't allowed, only stock splits, because changing the supply by issuing more is theft from current stock holders.

Governments have been stealing from people this way for a long time because most people don't understand money at all. But we are a trading species. We are like fish in water & money is our economic ocean. When the water becomes polluted the fish get sick & don't know enough to understsnd why. When money is corrupt society becomes sick. The culture rot all around us is as much a monetary problem as anything.
