  • But if you save your money in a bank you arent hording it. Hording it would be stuffing it under your mattress. While a bank will circulate your money through other investments. That's why banks gives you intrest. So it still works in a flat tax system since no money is technically stagnant if you store money in banks. Which you are incentivised to use because of intrest.

          • That's why it's called savings rather than investments.

            • they should call it losings

              100k sittin in a bank for the last decade would be lucky to be 101k now and worth at least 30% less than it was at the start

              more like 75% less if you spent it on steak & lumber

              • Fine you dont trust banks. Big hoopla. I'm just saying it as a counter point of it being concidered hoarding.

                At least it's in a system where it decreases in value less than just keeping it in a vault.

                Best case to keep money in is in real estate and land. But if you want money but not have it in a place that can devalue and thus lose the investment banks is how you go.
