probably because they earn their living off the corrupt nature of our fiat currency with the full knowledge that it is a scam to steal the wealth from the middle class, which doesn’t have access to the newly printed money in the form of Federal Reserve Corporation credits which they use to purchase capitol goods with Free Money before the Devaluation occurs which takes about 2 years to trickle down to the rest of us folks. See Richard Nixon August 15 1971. Also I would strongly recommend reading “The Creature fron Jekyl Island” and “ A case against the Fed” or just about everything from Ludwig Von Mises.
If Ron Paul is wrong on this, then Thomas Jefferson was wrong as well.
Who do you imagine gets this free money?
