22. Actually as the filthy-rich

Concentrates more and more money, the money becomes worth less and less. They hide it and horde it. It would be good if they invested it but they aren't doing that as much anymore. The vast majority of the filthy-rich have foreign accounts to hide a good portion of their wealth. Which was a big problem that helped cause the Republican Great Depression.

Our government has tried to solve financial problems by simply printing more money. This can drive the value of money drastically downward, especially in modern markets where money is not backed by anything. Not even the good faith of a nation what with Trump as president.

Twice as many dollars in an economy makes those dollars worth half as much. That money was distributed to banks and rich corporations in times of crisis. Most of the huge PPP loans and 2008 bailouts were never paid back and went to cover failed banks, Wall Street Firms and even the Trump family. The measly $600 handed to some adults who had a record with the IRS was a drop in the bucket compared to what was handed out to the richest among us.
