Tom Bilyeu

The government tells you to your face, I'm going to steal 3% of your money every year.

And people just go, I don't understand it.

Fine.

So when I make it simple, I am lying because the economy isn't as simple as I make it sound, but at least people can understand the effect.

And the effect is in the last five years,

25% of your money was stolen by the government.

25%.

And then any number that is the same percentage year over year is what's known as exponential growth.

So they are stealing exponentially more money from you every year.

So 3% on a dollar is 3 cents.

But the next year it's now a dollar and three cents and they're going to take 3% of that and on and on and on.

And it just compounds and gets bigger.

And so everybody's just like, yeah, I don't really want to understand why that's true.

I don't want to understand why inflation, which Tom Bilyeu used to think inflation was just a law of nature.

I just, it happened.

I didn't know why it happened, but just everybody seemed like it was just always there.

Which is cool with it.

Yeah.

So.

Uh, that is the government stealing money from you.
