The rich understand this while,

The middle class keeps collecting bills.
The stadium scam.
Imagine a cricket stadium with exactly 50,000 seats. The management issues 50,000 tickets.
One ticket = One seat. Guaranteed.
For decades, this system was honest.
The ticket was just a receipt.
The seat was the value.
You held onto the paper because you couldn’t take the chair home.
Then, the management noticed something interesting. Outside, people were exchanging tickets as if they were currency. “I’ll give you two tickets for your watch.” “I’ll give you five tickets for your bicycle.”
They realized that people trusted the paper more than the stadium.
So, the management became greedy.
They started printing additional tickets for seats that didn’t exist.
They sold 100,000 tickets.
Then 500,000 tickets.
Then 1,000,000 tickets.
They became multimillionaires selling rights to a game that was already sold out.
Then, one day, it happened.
Foreigners with tickets crowded at the gates. They wanted their seats.
The management didn’t have them.
So they did something historic.
They closed the gates.
They announced over the loudspeakers:
We no longer exchange tickets for seats. Now, the ticket is what’s valuable.
This really happened.
The Stadium is the Bank.
The seat is gold.
The ticket is in US dollars.
For years, $35 was a receipt guaranteed by one ounce of gold.
The document was just a claim voucher.
But the US government printed more dollars than gold.
When other countries (like France) started to suspect and asked for their gold back,
President Nixon shut the taps.
In 1971, he “closed the gold window.”
He told the world: The dollar is no longer a claim on gold. It is money.
Today, trillions of bills are circulating. But the amount of gold hasn’t changed.
That’s why the price of everything keeps rising. It’s not that seats are more expensive.
It’s that your bill is worth less.
You are saving in paper bills.
While the rich buy the stadium.
