There are those who consume more than what they produce, what means that there are those how produce more than what they consume. This means that there are human beings that produce, at least in part, for others.

We could diferenciate between net producers and net consumers where at the extremes we can find pure consumers; but never pure producers because it is impossible to consume nothing.

Pure consumers exist and they are a lot.

producers are financed by debt, which is a tax on consumers, who are financing their consumption using debt… rolled over to future generations…. its an entangled web of complexity. truth is probably that human slave labour, people to poor for anyone to lend to them, are the real producers… and absolutely no-one seems to care about them. like kids in swet shops and similar. horrible.

Did you mean to say debt is a tax on consumers?

it somewhat depends on the denominator in the debt contract, but i indeed i do view most of the debt we have know as a hidden tax. everytime someone borrows money into existence, it adds to the currency in circulation which is inflationary. the only way this is not inflationary to consumers, is if the product/services produced make the economy more efficient and new debt is used to pay of the old debt. however; increasing efficiency together with increasing debt is an unstable system, because its not evenly distributed, on the contrary its a centralizing process. in the end we get some sort of reset.
