If I'm reading it right, that's the opposite of what the person you replied to was suggesting:

> The reality is that any modern economy based on fiat-money have unlimited cash and tend to benefit enough from weakening the bargaining power of the entrenched elites though inflation funded welfare, that you can set the bar for how poor the poor are allowed to become

I'm not sure how to read it TBH. When you print money, value of assets keep going up with the inflation. So the rich who have assets would stay rich, the poor would loose.

If OP wanted to claim the opposite, I don't see how it makes sense.
