I used to own a motel in Uereka Springs Ar. It was a seasonal affair at best and the property taxes were $13,000 per year. So just to own this property cost me $13,000 per year. If I did not pay my taxes my property would be seized and sold to the highest bidder.
Private Property is a joke friend! All property actually belongs to the state. All moneys belong to the state as well, and if they wanted they could devaulate and destroy your savings like it was nothing.
We should focus on quality of life for the masses not the illusion of owning land or moneys. In America money equals freedom and this is great, but many should not suffer so that a few can live high on the hog.

Well you know what? 99.9% of people who work for a living are concerned about the points Mises brings up.
If you want to ignore it, it only shows the complete lack of any rational logic behind your flawed economic musings.

The moneys you invest in the fund are not unlike Treasury Bonds in that you get more back than put in. As I understand the fed will issue up to 9 times the amount held just the same as the banks do with their holdings.
