Tony Brown characterizes the Federal Reserve and the income tax as the second plank of the Communist Manifesto. He argues that the Fed intentionally maintains a "natural rate of unemployment" (NIRU) to control inflation, which disproportionately affects minority communities. Brown also predicts a massive bank run in 1999 due to Y2K fears, noting that the Fed is increasing the currency supply by one-third to prepare for the panic.
