There are
many elementary things that recieve no attention at all, although they can be
extremely important. If you take a Russian banknote in your hands, you will see
that it says: "Note of the Bank of Russia." If you take a look at
Soviet banknotes, you will see that they say: "State Treasury Note."
It means that it is not the Russian state that makes the money that all
Russians use in their everyday lives today. This is a consequence of 1991 - the
time when the Soviet Union collapsed.
Modern-day
bank notes are made in today's Russia on the base of the Constitution, as well
as on the base of the laws about the Central Bank. The production volumes of
today's banknotes in Russia are proportionate to the volume of the purchased
virtual foreign currency. In other words, in order to pay, let's say, a note of
100 rubles to a cashier in a supermarket, the Russian economy has paid the
United States of America the face value of this note.
If we add
the structure of the Russian reserves, the general systems of balance of
payments, the crediting mechanism - i.e. the elements of economic sovereignty,
which Russia does not have, - then we will see that today, Russia pays nearly
$200-300 billion to the US. This amount corresponds to the taxes, which Russian
tax-payers pay - without customs payments.
Conditionally,
every Russian citizen pays two taxes. One of them goes to the Russian budget,
and the other one - in the same amount - goes to the American budget. Russia
spends this money on the inflation mechanism, because this money is withdrawn
from the economy. Therefore, Russia will never solve the inflation problem
until it solves the problem of the Central Bank. Hungary tried to do it, for
example, but was punished for it.
Russia is
not alone here, of course. America defeated many countries of the world. The
above is not a specific problem of Russia. That is why the USA consumes a half
of the world's GDP because they collect tribute from everyone, not just Russia.
