Erosion of Prosperity: A Thoughtful Reflection on Vanishing Wealth Sun Tzu said, "With this loss of substance and exhaustion of strength, the homes of the people will be stripped bare, and three-tenths of their income will be dissipated; while government expenses for broken chariots, worn-out horses, breast-plates and helmets, bows and arrows, spears and shields, protective mantles, draught-oxen and heavy wagons, will amount to four-tenths of its total revenue." While your home might not be "stripped bare," do you feel that three-tenths of your income is dissipated? Does the United States spend four-tenths of total revenue on war? #suntzu #fiat #government #war #artofwar #fiatcurrency #gold #silver #bitcoin
