    Yet, you don't work for money, you work for what you can get through the medium of exchange. That's basic economics. That you conflate the medium of exchange with actual wealth means you subscribe stubbornly to a basic fallacy. This is why I have said repeatedly that you believe firmly that money is wealth and that the creation of it creates more wealth. Your posted implies that you continue to stick stubbornly to the this false belief.

    Tell that to Akphidelt. He repeatedly claims that money is wealth. He says that he doesn't, when pressed, but then repeats the claim over and over again.
