Structural debasement requires obfuscation in order to secure unaware seigniorage from its public. The more that it’s brought to public awareness, the weaker it is.

Make them tell us they need to tax us, because they can’t quietly debase us.
Make it more transparent. Shine a light on it and ask people if it’s just.
