"La forma de aplastar a la burguesía es moliéndolos entre las piedras de molino de la tributación y la inflación."

Simplified Meaning:

This quote suggests that one way to weaken the middle class is by making them pay high taxes and creating inflation, which makes things more expensive. Imagine a family that earns a steady income. If they have to pay a lot of taxes, they have less money left for essentials like food, rent, and education. At the same time, if prices for things they need keep going up because of inflation, their money doesn't go as far. This puts a lot of pressure on them and could make it hard to save money or live comfortably. In history, when governments have raised taxes and inflation has risen a lot, middle-class families often struggle the most because they don’t have the same financial cushion as the wealthy. To apply this idea, people might be cautious about supporting policies that could lead to high taxes and inflation, as these can significantly impact their financial wellbeing.
