The Earth Tax – A bill we all must pay

Stock markets aren’t rising because the global economy is strong. They’re rising because of the money we printed. Cash we created out of nothing and pumped straight into the financial system. We call it “liquidity” to make it sound technical and clever, but it’s the same thing: manufactured money flooding the banks and forcing asset prices higher. And that money has to go somewhere. It doesn’t repair the real economy or build anything useful — it just chases whatever is easiest to inflate. No effort, no time, no work behind it. Just the press of a button, and suddenly we pretend it’s growth.
