This is an across the board confiscation of wealth affecting rich and poor alike.
This creation of money with no backing of material worth systematically devalues the currency robbing the peoples savings of its value.
Any money in saving accounts or dollar denominated savings instrument are being robbed by the government

Those on fixed incomes are getting destroyed.
