No, actually the 1% hold a lot of assets, which are being driven up by the debt based system. Most of the 99% own a tiny amount of assets per person in comparison. They are creditors but not in any meaningful way.

The 99% will never be able to become the 1%. This is the system. It is unfair and it has been in place for the last fifty years.

99% of people you meet liking inflation indicates you are probably working in finance, economics or government. Real people with real jobs hate inflation. Especially the millions of unemployed people in the US and Europe.

No.

Inflation in EU is very low, monetary policy is restrictive and EU has significantly higher unemployment than any other major economy. I haven't heard a single unemployed person complain about inflation ever and I've been around a while (Yugoslavia with hyperinflation, Slovenia with own fresh currency and now ). Which 'real' people are you talking about?

You are also neglecting companies, business. They do most of the borrowing. People work in companies. Companies need to take loans (or issue shares) to grow business and offer jobs. If a company stops to borrow money it's usually a seriously bad sign, it means it has no idea, no room to grow and it will be overrun by competitors, people lose jobs.

What did you meant by inflation in EU is very low?.....you call inflation running at 10% to 20% very low. I think you were referring to CPI which IS not inflation. Companies can borrow from the bank via people's savings. Look at China and S. Korea.
