Rome had inflation just like america does. Debasing the currency. It debased the currency so thoroughly that it became literally worthless and romans stopped using it. Forced to resort to barter. Even the government stopped using it. Nobody had any money to tax, so the government had to resort to taxing in kind. As you might expect from a government that taxed so heavily it ruined its own coinage, the in-kind taxes were so ruinous that producers would sell themselves into slavery to avoid taxes. (This plus a few other desperate, deranged laws formed early degenerate feudalism.)
The america war of northern conquest was fought by those who had a) read history and b) wanted to tax so heavily it would result in selling yourself into slavery.
But slavery was already outlawed, checkmate. It's racist not to pay whatever taxes idle fatcats deem fit to charge you. The peasants never [can't] pay, it's always [won't], because they're selfishly hoarding, see?
Unless trump really does hire ron paul and defund the Fed, that's about what you're looking at. The tariffs will become real. He's being used by the deep state. Forex will be banned, to avoid using pesos or whatever after USD becomes totally worthless. Having to tax in dinar would be very very embarrassing, after all. USD only.
Voters believe it is very important to avoid being called meany words by
their traitorous parasites. They like to watch all the latest hollywood movies so
they know which words are the meaniest. In Reality, taxes are so avoidable it makes you wonder if they're lying about Death too. Enforcing taxation is so expensive it manages not to be worth the money.
P.S. I guess the idea of paper money is that, since it's already worthless, when you debase it, individual monetary units don't look any different. You can't do an assay on the bank note to see it contains lower value, since it is already at 0.
