Manage episode 484270800 series 3605725
They've been robbing you blind for over 50 years, and most people don't even realize it's happening.
In this explosive Episode 2 of The Big Print series, Harvard-educated venture capitalist Lawrence Lepard exposes the greatest wealth transfer in human history with host Matty Ice. Since Nixon took America off the gold standard in 1971, the top 1% have seized control of 92% of America's wealth while the bottom 50% have been treading water for three decades.
🔥 SHOCKING REVELATIONS IN THIS EPISODE:
• Your dollar has lost 98.5% of its purchasing power since 1971
• The government changed inflation calculations in the 1980s to steal from Social Security recipients
• Detroit went from America's richest county to economic wasteland due to monetary policy
• Milton Friedman's warning: "Inflation is always a monetary phenomenon"
• How deaths of despair exploded alongside wealth inequality
• Why this isn't capitalism failing - it's crony capitalism working exactly as designed
Lawrence Lepard, who famously confronted Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner and other financial elites at Harvard, breaks down the mathematical theft disguised as economic policy. Every grocery bill that shocks you, every paycheck that buys less, every dream of homeownership slipping away - it's all connected to this systematic extraction of your wealth.
"The game is not fair when you give certain people a big monetary advantage. That's what inflation does," Lepard explains, showing how the Federal Reserve's money printing has been the ultimate wealth transfer mechanism from working Americans to financial elites.
This isn't just financial education - it's financial self-defense in an age of monetary warfare.
