Taking a page from Lenin’s playbook

Like Biden, Lenin wanted us to be poor

• Lenin wanted to crush the bourgeoisie by grinding them between the millstones of taxation and inflation
• He was keen on deploying any available millstones to destroy the class he abominated
• Unlike Chief Justice John Marshall, who pointed out during the economic crisis of 1819 the great danger that "the power to tax involves the power to destroy," Lenin thought of its destructiveness as an advantage

We do not need to imagine a contingency. We have our very own made-in-America variety present and accounted for.

• Over the course of a few months, we have gone from a situation where all the beautiful people running our lives were telling us that inflation was merely "transitory," to screaming headlines that inflation is out of control, that it is the worst in forty years, and it is tanking the economy.

Biden and his minders would have done differently had they actually intended to impoverish the American citizenry

• When there is less of something that is in demand, like energy, its price rises
• The Biden administration's immediate response was to print more money, lots of it, thus fueling inflation and thereby making the money less valuable
