Defining conservatives
❝❝A conservative tends to value economic freedom over personal freedom. Usually this means removing government obstacles to business while advocating a common moral belief system to join people together, even if someone has to sacrifice in the name of that system. In it's more extreme forms, that can mean dictating the personal behavior (and occasionally beliefs) of individuals through government actions. The bottom line and results take precedence over feelings.❞❞— NeoWayland, Pagan•Vigil FAQ
Defining modern liberals
❝❝A modern liberal can range from what used to be called a "progressive" to socialist. Roughly speaking, a modern liberal is all for personal freedom but feels that economic freedom and opportunity should be controlled by government action so that everyone "benefits equally" in the name of "social justice." In it's more extreme forms, it can mean that good intentions and lofty goals are judged over results.❞❞— NeoWayland, Pagan•Vigil FAQ

I’ll spare you the accounting explanation. What you should take away from this is that government rigs these prices so it can draw profit on your loss. Between the currency and the price of gold, you’re losing money.
It gets worse.
When it comes to “investments” on anything from a bank passbook account to stocks to bonds, if your return on investment (ROI) is less than the inflation rate, then you are losing money and government gets the difference.
It’s a rigged game. You can’t win except with very high stakes and if the government backs your play.
So this entry ends with a simple question.
Who rigged the game?
