You hit the nail on the head when you mentioned basis the inflation of the money supply by the government as an issue. However these protests have not been against the cause of the problem (mismanagement of the economy by the government due to short term incentives) they are against a symptom (immigrants, who are the product unsustainable immigration policies made possible by running budget deficits).

It’s all down to incentives isn’t it.

Yes, I think it’s important the right “meme” spreads at this point (hence the mask, if you’ve seen “V for Vendetta).

Exactly. And fiat money enables those short term incentives for politicians.

Even when people identify that the politicians have these short term incentives they rarely connect that these incentives are linked to / enabled by the ability to create money out of thin air.
