You have repeatedly stated that money is nothing more than a medium for exchange.
Its value is therefore relative to things for which it is exchanged.
If a given amount of money can no longer be exchanged for the same amount of stuff.
The value of money has fallen and inflation has taken place.

That's just facts.

Facts, my friend, are strangers to you.

That's the best response you and God could collectively achieve is it?

Here's a fact.

You have studiously ignored answering FPD's analysis of the consequences of the implementation your ideas. He has made a very good case that if you implement your ideas you will cause hyper-inflation, capital flight and a whole host of other issues that will lead to the crash of the US economy. Show us this supposed prophetic political and economic nous and tell us how you will avoid his scenario? Otherwise we'll just have to accept that you are a blowhard troll who really should have banned long-ago.

It's not the best response, it's the only response!

Since you know absolutely nothing about economics, much less the U.S. economy, I'm tempted to post one of your smilies, but I simply can't lower myself to that level.

Well I did an 'A' level in it, not much I agree, to what level have you studied it bob? As such it's really got nothing to do with the US economy as your ideas implemented in any economy would appear to lead to hyper-inflation, the flight of capital and its subsequent crash. Unless of course you can actually say how you will implement your fantasy in such a way as to not cause this? (I already know how you will answer this, if you bother at all, but just thought I'd demonstrate how inadequate your ideas on economics are with respect to the real world)

I'm tempted to post one of your smilies, but I simply can't lower myself to that level.

That you think this is the level you should worry about. Hope to see you banned very soon as you have truly run your course here.

Of course it is as your inadequacy with respect to economic ideas leaves you no other recourse. Of course you could try philosophising about your ideas and improving them but your disability closes that option as well.

So what level of education did you study Economics to bob?

This thread has made it very clear that that voice in your head is as incompetent as it's owner when it comes to politics and economics.

Got any stupid remarks about taxes, the subject of this thread?

They are not despotic you loon.

My only real reason for bothering with this thread was see what Bob was capable of when given some constructive questions to answer.
It wasn't great, but about as good as could be expected given his circumstances.

You're talking to yourself again.

Ms. Novak. ...

Time to join the C21st boob.

Why don't you start a thread you can intelligently discuss, ...

You first.

like the controversial North Carolina LGBT law?

Why would I discuss such a thing? I'm not a US citizen(thank 'God') and I don't live in North Carolina(praise 'Satan').

True, but I believe it's a subject in which you probably have some expertise.
