Waldo Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 There are better ways for the banks and governments to steal people's money (without people even knowing they've been robbed). A better way to rob people is where they have the same amount of money in their accounts, but the value of the currency is reduced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I1L2T3 Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 wtf? In Cypress everyday people who have savings are expected to bail out the banks http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-21814325 They're just being up-front about it. In the UK savings are being stolen too. By stealth. The difference with Cyprus is they can't print their own money. UK inflation is being deliberately held above target and above wage rises to erode the real value of debt. Every round of QE is like a bazooka hitting pension funds. With every round of QE and every month that inflation is above target and above wage rises, the real value of savings decreases. Make no mistake the powers that be see taking private savings deposits as a way of keeping things going, even though doing so can only work for a short time.

Only most people in the UK are too retarded to realise they're being robbed blind. Well, perhaps they do realise, but there doesn't seem to be too many alternatives, perhaps converting currency in to gold bullion and hiding it under the floorboards...

taxman Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 Yes but if we don't help the banks and bail them out and let them give their failing managers massive bonuses they'll all go abroad and we'll lose all their massive brains and great acumen.
