    Awful take.

    Instead of printing money, they should be raising taxes on their wealthiest.

      Printing money does raise taxes on the wealthy. Inflation is a tax on every person with currency. If you print money and give it to the poor to make up for the real value they’re losing to inflation, the tax falls on the wealthy.
