    "US persons" is definitely a weasel word.

    Replace it with "US citizens" and I don't have a problem with it, they're protecting their legitimate interests, nothing to do with theft.

    I don't bother answering questions that are clearly just you trying to change the subject again. If you wish me to do so, you must first demonstrate the cognitive ability to grasp some simple financial concepts which you've already deemed yourself able to comment on. Namely, GDP, and money laundering.

    Can you explain how an increase in GDP is equivalent to money laundering?

    Amusing given that that's the second time I had asked those questions... and yes, that was before you got the answer money laundering (and deservedly so). My questions where base on seeking further information as you had just put up GDP and money circulation as a reason not to print more money.

    So, let's try it on chronological order... or are you going to slime your way out of answering those questions like you did with the last round of questions before I gave up? Highly ironic, but much to my amusement.

    I think evaluating your cognitive ability take precedence over chronological order. Also, you brought up money laundering in response to the discussion about GDP and circulation, so it is in chronological order anyway. It is not a difficult question that I ask you, however the one you ask me is rather complex, so how about you show you have the ability to understand the answer...

    The issues you speak of with poverty.
    Simply put there is obviously too many poor people
    If we eliminate this mass of poor people problem will then of course be solved.

    How about I give you the short version then. Money is printed/released into circulation as a means of controlling inflation and other economic factors. There are of course complex interactions between the GDP and inflation, and thus money in circulation etc, but the G20's approach is most certainly not to print all that money to increase the GDP figures. It would collapse (or at least go very poorly) if no more money was put into circulation, but that is a different issue from GDP.

    Now, how is an increase in GDP the same as money laundering?

    I've warned you before about that F word.

    And as usual you've got it arse backwards. Under any rational legal definition tax is theft…

    Quote Originally Posted by Black’s law dictionary
    Tax is a “pecuniary burden laid upon individuals or property owners to support the government [...] a payment exacted by legislative authority.” A tax “is not a voluntary payment or donation, but an enforced contribution, exacted pursuant to legislative authority” and is “any contribution imposed by government [...] whether under the name of toll, tribute, tallage, gabel, impost, duty, custom, excise, subsidy, aid, supply, or other name”.
    … as even that lawyer and tax expert Geoffrey Palmer said.

    And tax avoidance is perfectly legal. In fact that's the difference between avoidance and evasion, which is presumably what you meant.

    But even then, if someone was stealing your bike every weekend wouldn’t you feel inclined to hide it on Friday?

    Old news.

    That's different to what you originally stated. Funny that all they've done all along is to print billions and billions and billions of $ over the best part of the last century and the financial system hasn't collapsed... especially remarkable given that even though they've rammed in even more billions of $ since the GFC. So why would they change such a winning formula all of a sudden I wonder if they could just fuck with GDP and a little bit of printing. So what you say doesn't stack up... furthermore it doesn't actually answer the question. Explain how money goes in one end and comes out the other end 3 times over (at least it was 3 times when I did economics back in the day).

    Not yet. You've still got a question to go...
    Like I said, the G20 declaration is to increase GDP, it is not to do so by printing and extra few trillion dollars. Their declaration is not to stop printing money either, because that would be a bad idea. To put it simply, you were wrong to equate the G20's declaration with printing more money.

    Same products we do now, just more of them. Or higher priced stuff. Basically, increasing GDP means people have a higher turnover, we can buy more stuff, or better quality stuff (unless the population increases at the same rate ofc).

    There, all done, now hold up your end.

    but, then anyone who wants to buy shit needs to earn more, to afford it, which means their products/services will have to have the price hiked (bonus - etra tax $ for govtjews) and then anyone who wants to buy shit needs to earn more, to afford it, which means their products/services will have to have the price hiked (bonus - etra tax $ for govtjews) and then anyone who wants to buy shit needs to earn more, to afford it, which means their products/services will have to have the price hiked (bonus - etra tax $ for govtjews) and then anyone who wants to buy shit needs to earn more, to afford it, which means their products/services will have to have the price hiked (bonus - etra tax $ for govtjews) and then.....
