How The Federal Reserve Destroyed The Middle Class (And Nobody Noticed)

Описание: The Federal Reserve headquarters looks like any other government building. But what happens inside has destroyed the purchasing power of the dollar by 97% since 1913. Your grandfather bought a house on a single factory income. Your father raised a family comfortably on one salary. You need two incomes just to afford rent. This is not natural economic evolution. This is the deliberate result of a monetary system designed to transfer wealth from the bottom to the top. And most people have no idea it is happening.
This video examines how the Federal Reserve destroys middle class wealth through currency debasement and inflation. We trace the exact mechanism from 1913 to today, showing how money printing benefits those closest to the money printer while destroying the purchasing power of wage earners. Using historical data, economic analysis, and real-world examples, we prove that the collapse of the American middle class is not accidental but systemic.
What we cover: How the Federal Reserve creates money from nothing. The Cantillon Effect and why inflation is not equal. Why housing became unaffordable compared to wages. How savings accounts became wealth destroyers. Why pensions disappeared and 401ks replaced them. How cheap credit inflated education and healthcare costs. Why America shifted from manufacturing to financial services. How bailouts reward the wealthy and punish savers. Historical parallels from Rome to Weimar to Venezuela. Warning signs that the system is approaching collapse.
Key statistics: Dollar purchasing power loss 97% since 1913. Money supply increase 40% in 24 months 2020-2022. Federal Reserve balance sheet 900 billion in 2008 to 8.9 trillion in 2023.
