Inflation - Why We Should Have Seen This Coming

February 13, 2022
00:00:00

we do need to see in a moderation  of wage rises now that's painful

00:00:09

okay we've got to talk about inflation

00:00:17

food prices are going up energy prices are going  up house prices are going up the rent is going up  

00:00:22

everything's going up except for your wages and  andrew bailey the governor of the bank of england  

00:00:27

who earns half a million pounds a year  by the way is telling you not to ask  

00:00:30

for a pay rise you need to understand  what is happening here with inflation

00:00:38

okay the first thing you need to understand is  that the mainstream media has no idea what is  

00:00:43

causing this inflation they're talking about it  as if it's some sort of natural disaster that's  

00:00:47

just dropped on the country a cost of living  crisis listen this inflation crisis was easily  

00:00:53

predictable right at the beginning of colvin and  in fact i predicted it in my very first video on  

00:00:57

this channel look covert was the biggest economic  disaster for a hundred years since the great  

00:01:02

depression and how did we deal with it well the  government just simply printed £45 billion

00:01:07

okay that's £10000 for every single adult  in the country okay and if you're not sitting on  

00:01:14

ten thousand pounds more in your bank account now  than you were before colby or someone else has got  

00:01:18

your £10000 and the facts are they probably  do because all the statistics show us that the  

00:01:23

vast amount of that money was accumulated by the  very richest people in the country that means the  

00:01:27

richest people in the country stacking up 60 70 80  £100,000 more than they had before covered  

00:01:33

okay look if that's how you deal with  the disaster then you can't be surprised  

00:01:37

when prices go up these guys are sitting  on 70 80 100 000 pounds more cash okay  

00:01:41

that means when your kids go to buy a house  they're competing against these kids who have  

00:01:45

a hundred two hundred thousand pounds more  cash in the bank of course prices are going  

00:01:48

to go up these guys have a huge amount of cash and  they're going to use it to push up the prices of  

00:01:53

food energy houses that you your families and your  kids need okay and that is not going to get better  

00:01:58

unless we do something about the huge amount of  cash stacking up in rich people's bank accounts

00:02:08

is the government going to do anything about  it well when you consider that the chancellor's  

00:02:13

father-in-law is a billionaire and he himself  is worth an estimated 200 million dollars  

00:02:18

i suspect he's probably pretty happy about  the fact that millionaires and billionaires  

00:02:22

in this country made a bigger increase on their  wealth during the first year of colvin than they  

00:02:26

ever have gotten in any other year in the  history of this country has he raised taxes  

00:02:31

on those people well actually he's raised taxes by  two and a half percent on you and your wages and  

00:02:37

he's done it in such a way that it specifically  excludes the incomes of billionaires i don't  

00:02:44

think he's going to fix his crisis of inequality  and for that reason things are going to get worse

00:02:56

okay so what are the economists who as always have  no idea what they're doing going to do instead of  

00:03:02

taxing their rich well it looks like they're  going to and in fact they've already started  

00:03:06

raising interest rates what does that mean that  means people who have debts are going to pay more  

00:03:12

money to people who have savings okay well who  has debts well if you've got a mortgage it's you  

00:03:18

and if you are the government who borrowed  a massive amount during kovitz it's you as  

00:03:23

well which means the taxpayer the homeowners and  the taxpayers are going to pay more money to the  

00:03:28

cash holders and who are the cash holders here  as we've said it's the rich and the very rich  

00:03:34

these guys are gonna try and fix the  crisis by making you and your family  

00:03:37

pay more money to the rich do you  think that's gonna work i don't

00:03:44

okay so what happens next the amount of  money in society has permanently increased  

00:03:49

that means prices need to permanently increase but  money is no longer pouring in so eventually prices  

00:03:54

will stabilize that means inflation will come  back down does that mean the problem is fixed  

00:04:00

no inflation will come back to normal but prices  will stay permanently higher permanently higher  

00:04:06

cost of food permanently higher cost of  energy permanently higher cost of rent  

00:04:10

permanently higher cost of housing the only price  which is not going to become permanently higher  

00:04:14

is your wage that's what happens when the  rich get richer but ordinary people don't  

00:04:19

your quality of life decreases permanently that's  you and your family the rich will be permanently  

00:04:25

richer ordinary people be permanently poorer  and quality of life we permanently decrease  

00:04:31

we have to do something about this

00:04:35

okay so what do we do number one educate  yourselves and understand what's happening  

00:04:40

don't let them call this a cost of living crisis  like it's some sort of natural disaster understand  

00:04:45

that this is being caused by our government  using the kovitz crisis to allow millionaires  

00:04:50

and billionaires to accumulate literally  hundreds of billions of pounds at your expense  

00:04:55

understand that we can't fix it unless we get  that money back watch the first video on this  

00:05:00

channel which explains clearly how that happened  number two is push back don't let andrew bailey  

00:05:06

tell you that you don't deserve a pay rise push  for higher wages for you and your work colleagues  

00:05:10

don't let billionaire rishi sunac raise your  taxes on you and your family and not raise  

00:05:15

taxes on billionaires push for higher taxes on  millionaires and billionaires and lower taxes on  

00:05:20

ordinary working people and number three is spread  this message share this video with your friends  

00:05:26

your family or work colleagues look there's a  fight going on here and the super rich are winning  

00:05:31

the only way we are gonna fight this  is if we come together to push back  

00:05:35

okay well i'm here to do my grocery  shopping if i can afford it keep watching

00:05:55

so it's intentionally designed national  insurance so that very rich people  

00:05:59

pay a very low percent there is one other thing  they can do with that mass amount of income  

00:06:05

they can buy your mom's house
