Whatever problem you care about, it is being caused by the corruption of government. Wherever you live, your government is corrupt. Whichever leader you point to, from Bukele in El Salvador, to Putin in Russia, it can be shown that leader is receiving more money than they are officially paid as salary for their official position as a government servant. Whether Pelosi's outperformance of the market picking stocks, or Putin's $B's, it actually isn't hard to prove national leadership in every polity on Earth is enjoying the proceeds of corruption.
This is an inherent feature of government. It's not even problematic - for the psychopaths that seek wealth and power beyond what is potential to good, honest people. It is blatantly, blindingly obvious, at every hand, wherever you look in the world, however the most wealthy made their money, whatever industry they are in, whoever you look at. From Carlos Slim, the Mexican Cell Phone service magnate, to Elon Musk, Spacex's engineering autist, you will find connections to government that lead to extremely rapid accumulation of enormous wealth. Government is the exclusive source of excessive wealth because government is the exclusive vector of authority over people, and people are the source of all wealth.
No dogs or fish, trees or fungi, bacteria or virii, are trading stocks. People generate wealth, and government controls people, which separates them from their wealth. Every person on Earth is subject to governmental authority. No one is free.
Well, except those that are corrupting government. Those that control government obviously don't subject themselves to the affliction of governmental authority. Fiat is created out of thin air by commercial banks. Every unit of account thereby created is owned by someone. The tens of trillions of dollars borrowed by taxpayers (who are then legally obligated to pay that debt at interest) isn't owned by the natural universe, God, or dogs and virii. It's owned by the investors in commercial banks that lend it to government, and you owe it back to them because your government borrowed it from them on your authority.
Investors in commercial banks literally are accorded ownership of money they conjure out of thin air that YOU owe them at interest.
Is there any possible mental gymnastics you can perform that can justify that?
No. It is fraud. Whatever rhetorical justifications are undertaken are necessarily criminal conspiracies to defraud, and the people that claim to authorize it are liable, as are all the beneficiaries of the crime. All the acts ascribed to government aren't committed by pieces of paper, or the squiggly little lines on paper. They are committed by people. Those people are criminals, harming you, liable for their crimes in any just world.
This crime is the essential premise of government. Government is predicated on the premise that people are subject to authority outside themselves. Because God doesn't Their Holy Selves' exercise that authority, fish and fleas, grass and trees, don't step up to oppress humanity, the humble governmental servants must step into the breach and act on behalf of... what? People? Who's rights to exercise authority are they exercising on their behalf? The people being oppressed?
It's not superable by any stretch of imagination. When considered at it's fundamental basis the concept of government is unjust. The people that claim to act on such authority are only criminals. Paper can't act. Squiggles on paper can't act. Fish, fleas, and trees can't legally act to commit such oppressions. Only people can do this, and only people do it. It is those people that commit all the crimes ascribed to government. The government servants, agents and officials, bureaucrats and clerks, are criminals, just as criminal as flash mobs stripping the shelves of markets, beating and raping little girls in alleys, picking your pocket in the press of the mob that keeps you from noticing it at the moment.
It doesn't matter if it takes you a while to notice it. It's still a crime, and you've been criminally victimized. However long it takes you to notice you've been robbed, it doesn't change the fact you've been robbed. Take your time. Carefully consider your person and other people, and which other people you grant the right to rob you. If you are capable of grasping that no person has the right to rob you, unlike a fish or a flea that is incapable of such understanding, you have understanding you have been robbed, and owe yourself justice.
Any form of government can only be effected by persons acting as claimed agents of government, which can only be a theoretical agreement between people that have rights, at best - of course, it can be less theoretically lawful, just the outright violent oppression of people that do not agree - so there is not any theoretical government that cannot be oppression of some people by others. Agents of government cannot be lawfully ascribed any of the powers they claim as government agents, and can only act as oppressors regardless of whatever rhetorical constructs they may arrive at to justify their actions.
I have long waxed verbosely regarding what to do about it. I'm not going to go into detail here to describe how to resolve the matter, but I'll mention it briefly. It's pretty obvious that violence has been undertaken throughout history, and we can see that whatever successes violent revolution has claimed, it has only ever restored the injustice of government, and we can observe that today all humanity is subjected to criminal government. Violent revolution cannot succeed to eliminate government. It can only enable some new government to criminally take power. Revolution is not the solution.
What could possibly eliminate the scourge of government that can employ armies to subjugate us? Well, it is not armies that subjugate you to the theft government inflicts on you. IRS agents don't come to your door and take your furniture. You are robbed of your wealth by your participation in economic transactions using fiat. It is the dollars in your pocket that are robbing you. It is your participation that robs you.
But how can you live without money? How can you pay rent, eat food, giggle at memes, or get dates on Tinder without spending money on the means of creating that actual wealth money can buy? What other means of achieving wealth is possible?
Well, a moments reflection provides the certainty that life existed before money. Neither is money necessary to create modern technology. There isn't a circuit in a chip that is only possible because of fiat. Not one drop of water falls from your shower head or faucet government is necessary to create, transport, or deliver. Whatever means of production exist to create every blessing of civilization can exist without money, government, or oppressing you.
Government is at best an agreement between people, and agents of government claim governmental authority to steal your wealth. So do not delegate to government agents any authority over you. Produce goods and services you exchange with others without involving fiat that is the vector of government authority that robs you. I do this. I am aware it is difficult to avoid fiat, and I confess I do not do it perfectly. However the vast majority of transactions I undertake are not purchases I spend fiat on. Long before there was fiat, and agreements called government, transactions occurred, and the goodwill people used to value the goods and services exchanged prior to fiat still exists. Goodwill is still viable to employ for the purpose today, and government still has neither right nor ability to rob you of it.
Goodwill you create cannot be taxed. It cannot be stolen. It cannot be inflated away, rust, or be eaten by moths. It is the esteem of people you merit by benefiting them. It is just, equitable, and inures only to you by virtue of your actual virtue. Government is the essential conduct of our affairs, and when we simply conduct our affairs with means we personally possess there is no route to govern us potential to others that claim authority, because they must have vectors to attain to our production. Fiat is that primary vector, and other vectors, such as armed thugs, are generally avoided with a bit of care and forethought to your associations (not quite as easy as it sounds, and more or less so in different places, as I have learned to my lifelong regret). If governmental authority is claimed to be granted by the governed, then do not grant it by being governed, be free by governing yourself.
By transacting without involving fiat, the primary vector of criminal oppression, the vast majority of that criminal oppression is avoided, and actual wealth and freedom are attainable. Each of us must themselves reckon how best to do that in our personal circumstances, and I will leave it to you to undertake your wealth and freedom as you see fit based on the facts I have herein related. However, I will add that goodwill is only valuable to people capable of it. Use good judgment.
Finally, it is predictable that criminals will eventually employ armed thugs to force you to comply. Sooner or later it will be necessary to secure your life, freedom, and treasure by preventing armed thugs from beating you into submission. The most valuable security mechanism you can buy is the goodwill of allies that have your back. No piles of ammo or machine guns in walled compounds innawoods will protect you from gangs of armed thugs if you do not have allies. DUMBs are dumb. Earn goodwill.
It is your actions that free you, or subject you to oppression. Be free.
