Our money system is a massive wealth distribution mechanism. Central banks are stealing the purchasing power of people on fixed incomes and handing it over to governments, banks and big corporations.
How this works:
Imagine you have a money printer at home. All the counterfeited money you print will benefit you, since you have more money to spend. But it also benefits the businesses where you spend the counterfeited money, since they will have more revenue.
As the money flows through the economy, it will start driving up prices. The people who receive this new money last will get no extra purchasing power while they had to pay higher prices. This is why counterfeiting is illegal (at least for citizens), since it steals people's purchasing power.
If we counterfeit money we will be thrown in jail. If governments print money we call it 'monetary policy'.
The solution? Don't rely on government issued currency. Consider diversifying your savings/investments with anything the government can't print (gold, silver, cryptocurrency, etc.)
