## Resource

When billionaires like Elon Musk hit trillion-dollar valuations, it’s easy to overlook the deeper story: the dollar’s value has plummeted over time. Adjusted for inflation, today’s fortunes look smaller than they seem, revealing how government-driven money expansion quietly erodes purchasing power. This hidden tax benefits early recipients—governments and big institutions—while ordinary families pay the price. While innovation creates real value, protecting the dollar’s integrity is just as vital to sustaining true prosperity.
