The government deliberately created all the inflation in our society. For decades they removed our rights to save in stable forms

You can thank Keynesian economics for that one. Even the people who had good intentions (not that good intentions are worth all that much) were pushing this shit. And it's been pushed for so long now that practically nobody in government has any power to truly point out how terrible Keynesian economics are.

But then again, government loves Keynesian economics. Financial transactions are the easiest to tax, so you make policies that incentivises as many financial transactions as possible so you can get as many cuts of said transactions as possible. Keynesian economics are a gold mine for the government.
