In the absence of the gold standard, there is no way to protect savings from confiscation through inflation. [...] This is the shabby secret of the welfare statists' tirades against gold.

If one grasps this, one has no difficulty in understanding the statists' antagonism toward the gold standard.

Once the principle of government is admitted, any notion of restraining government power is illusory. Even if, as liberals have proposed, a government limited its activities to the protection of existing private property rights, the question of how much security to produce would arise. Motivated by self-interest and the disutility of labor, but with the power to tax, a government agent's answer will invariably be the same: To maximize expenditures and to minimize production. The more money one can spend and the less one must work, the better off one will be.
- — Hans-Hermann Hoppe
