Feb 01st, 2013 - 12:03 pm - Link - Report abuse 0“Lenin is said to have declared that the best way to destroy the Capitalist System was to debauch the currency. By a continuing process of inflation, governments can confiscate, secretly and unobserved, an important part of the wealth of their citizens.
By this method they not only confiscate, but they confiscate arbitrarily; and, while the process impoverishes many, it actually enriches some.” [...]
“Lenin was certainly right. There is no subtler, no surer means of overturning the existing basis of society than to debauch the currency. The process engages all the hidden forces of economic law on the side of destruction, and does it in a manner which not one man in a million is able to diagnose.”
and so the discontent continues for argentinians, how much longer can the average argentine be shafted by their government who treats them like retarded peasants throwing them crumbs every now and then, god help them when irans influence creeps in like a plague.

Feb 01st, 2013 - 12:20 pm - Link - Report abuse 09. Precious metals are banned from purchase in Argentina. Plus if you can find them illegally there is a HUGE premium due to the very very high import taxes.

But you are right, the usual trolls will be on here desperately trying to distract the thread or calling the unions traitors.
Like ostriches they bury their heads in the sand and hope all the bad stuff will magically go away.

The best way to tackle wage increases is to tackle inflation but when your economic policies are inflationary, you can't have it both ways.
