“Almost invariably, when this occurs [revolt against taxation], the state will resort to the most vicious, the most destructive, the most hidden tax of all. It will resort to the reprobate tax of inflation. By doing so, it decapitalizes virtually all of society because it destroys the currency medium upon which society makes its economic decisions and judgements. As the currency goes, so goes society and the state. inflation is the final act in the state’s play at being God. t is its final attempt to create wealth by fiat. It is the primary claim by man that he can create material propserity ex nihilo (out of nothing) in the same manner that God created the world. In the area of economics inflation is the ultimate claim of man that he can legislate whatever he desires into existence. It is his claim of being God in the realm of political-economy. And because it is one of man’s primary menas by which he claims to be God, it brings one of God’s most severe judgements upon man. God’s wrath against such unrighteousness means the virtual destruction of man’s political, social, and economic structure.”
