Inflation is a tax on everyone, and should be illegal. For most of civilization history, messing with the currency was a capital offense!
Counterfeiting, coin shaving, debasing coinage, all got you executed. And it still should.
The Fed is subsidizing the hell out of the banks right now in the USA. Did you know that while your savings or checking account pays you 0.1%, the Fed is paying the bank 5.4% on that money?
