The Big Print Series: How Govt Has Been Stealing 98.5% of Your Money Since 1971 | Episode 2 of 12

They've been robbing you blind for over 50 years, and most people don't even realize it's happening.
In this explosive Episode 2 of The Big Print series, Harvard-educated venture capitalist Lawrence Lepard exposes the greatest wealth transfer in human history with host Matty Ice. Since Nixon took America off the gold standard in 1971, the top 1% have seized control of 92% of America's wealth while the bottom 50% have been treading water for three decades.
🔥 SHOCKING REVELATIONS IN THIS EPISODE:• Your dollar has lost 98.5% of its purchasing power since 1971• The government changed inflation calculations in the 1980s to steal from Social Security recipients• Detroit went from America's richest county to economic wasteland due to monetary policy• Milton Friedman's warning: "Inflation is always a monetary phenomenon" • How deaths of despair exploded alongside wealth inequality• Why this isn't capitalism failing - it's crony capitalism working exactly as designed
Lawrence Lepard, who famously confronted Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner and other financial elites at Harvard, breaks down the mathematical theft disguised as economic policy. Every grocery bill that shocks you, every paycheck that buys less, every dream of homeownership slipping away - it's all connected to this systematic extraction of your wealth.
"The game is not fair when you give certain people a big monetary advantage. That's what inflation does," Lepard explains, showing how the Federal Reserve's money printing has been the ultimate wealth transfer mechanism from working Americans to financial elites.
This isn't just financial education - it's financial self-defense in an age of monetary warfare.

In this forward-looking episode of The Daylight Robbery Series, Dominic Frisby explores how the rapidly evolving digital economy and crypto are fundamentally challenging government taxation powers and reshaping our future.
Discover eye-opening insights about the changing nature of work and taxation:
- Why digital nomads (projected to reach 1 billion by 2035) pose an existential threat to traditional taxation- How tech giants like Google, Apple, and Facebook employ a fraction of the workers that traditional companies do while generating vastly more wealth- The impossibility of effectively taxing borderless digital businesses and why international tax treaties consistently fail- Why income tax (50% of government revenue worldwide) becomes increasingly uncollectable in the gig economy- How cryptocurrency and Bitcoin create financial inclusion for billions while simultaneously undermining government's ability to impose inflation taxes- The profound contrast between nations embracing digital transformation (US) versus those fighting it (EU)
As Milton Friedman predicted: "Governments can most effectively collect taxes on things that can't move. Cyberspace is going to make it very much more difficult for governments to collect taxes."

The Daylight Robbery Series: How Governments Silently Rob You | Episode 10 of 13

In this eye-opening episode of The Daylight Robbery Series, Dominic Frisby reveals the most insidious forms of taxation that operate in plain sight - debt and inflation - and how they're silently draining your wealth without you even noticing.
Herbert Hoover warned: "Blessed are the young for they shall inherit the national debt." Discover the shocking truth about how our financial system is designed to hide the most devastating forms of wealth confiscation:
- Why national debt is truly "taxation without representation" (Britain only finished paying WWI debts in 2015!)- How US debt doubled under each recent presidency and why the deficit reduction isn't what it seems- The disturbing connection between fiat currency and declining birth rates, mass immigration, and housing crises- Why government inflation metrics are fundamentally dishonest by excluding real estate and financial assets- How housing prices remained stable for 650 years (1290-1940) but exploded 42,000% since 1940- The truth about "Cantillionaires" - who really benefits from money printing and why it's not you
As Keynes warned, "There is no subtler, no surer means of overturning the existing basis of society than to debauch the currency." Learn why Bitcoin has become such a powerful educational tool in exposing the truth about our monetary system.
Understand why house prices have skyrocketed while wages stagnate, forcing two-income households and creating the "renter generation." This isn't by accident - it's the direct result of monetary policy that transfers wealth upward.
