My take on it is that it's when we think a thing through or trust our intuition. In latter years, it perhaps comes out as we talk out loud to ourselves. 😁
I don't think "inner voice" means "I hear voices in my head and have to do what the voices tell me." 😆
Apparently, though, some highly extraverted folks have no inner processing, and have to talk a thing over with others to be able to think it through.
First of all, since its decoupling from gold, a precioua metal, the U.S. currency is a figment of the imagination, a record of obligation that has no intrinsic value. Secondly, currency is a utility and should be readily available to anyone who chooses to use it to mediate transactions. That the issuer, the Congress has been engaged in hoarding and preferential distribution (banks get all the currency they claim to need) is a violation of trust that has been going on for over a century. Tax collection is a mechanism by which the issuers determine whose using the currency for what. Relying on taxes to control who gets to use currency is also a violation of trust. Thirdly, currency is called that because, like the waters in a stream, it is designed to move. Encouraging collection and hoarding is contrary to its designated function. What we now know is that at a certain point the accumulant can become so large that disposal or ditribution fails. The result is a stagnant economy. For evidence we have the banks which were allocated $500 Billion to stave off a recession during the pandemic and managed to distribute less that 10% in nine months. So, it was decided to distribute currency directly to households. Unfortunately, 4 deacdes of deprivation had made households suspicious of free currency and, instead of spending it on new acquiaitions, people paid down their debts and further reduced bank revenues. Distrust is difficult to overcome. So, people are sitting tight and hedging their bets by relying on relatives and friends before they go back to work. Will hoarders come to realize that their stash is useless? Time will tell.
So far today I have received EIGHT emails from Terry McAuliffe. I can't vote for him. I don't live in Virginia. Apparently my little tiny grassroots donation will help him win the election against a trump acolyte. Ya know, Terry, instead of begging for money every five minutes you could...I don't know....get out and CAMPAIGN?
Scroll to the bottom of such requests and find the word "unsubscribe" in the tiny print. I do so every time I get one of those things and it means I get maybe 4 per year (usually from someone who borrowed the list from someone I unsubscribed from). Works great.
I get a huge number of fundraising emails referencing the McAuliffe campaign. But on checking, most of them are from third-party PACs. I haen't clicked the donation buttons -- I made sure my only contribution went directly to McAuliffe -- but experience suggest that any contribution would in fact be split between McAuliffe and the PAC. In other words, the PACs are using McAuliffe's campaign to raise money for themselves.
Re "inner voice," it sounds like schizophrenia to me.

I'd be all set alone for a really long time.
Nevertheless, Elizabeth Warren’s Wealth Tax Persisted [Click] I shall refrain from chortling unless and until it happens. But it would be rather jolly.

DeleteLike the original estate tax, both Warren's proposal and this idea target the very wealthy. Otherwise the have little in common.
