I found this, among some others, over at Barnorama:
“Taxes are like a subscription to your Country that you can’t cancel, no matter how bad the service gets.”
Well, the “can’t cancel” bit is undoubtedly valid. Even if you are so low on the economic totem pole that you do not pay income taxes, except in a few States, you will be paying a tax of one kind or another. You have no choice in the matter; “deciding poorly” will mean, at some point, a man with a badge will come calling, and it won’t be the usual sort of chit-chat you’d have with your neighbor, friends, or co-workers.
I also saw a falsity there as well: “a subscription.” Almost all subscriptions are voluntary – Every “Yes” can also be a “No.” Choice. Freedom – you know, that attribute the Government is supposed to protect. EVERYONE in government is supposed to protect us from those who would take it away.
Unfortunately, too many in government believe that your money really belongs to them. So do many “citizens” whose patriotism means shoveling their money, as WELL as yours, to all the tax collectors in sight.
Right, Bruce Curry? […]

At Last, a Company With Integrity in the Gold IRA Industry
For several years, I’ve been vetting out precious metals companies in search of the best. I believe in gold and silver but it’s hard to find integrity in the Gold IRA industry. The vast majority operate with shady tactics and gigantic spreads that take advantage of Americans who simply want to protect their life’s savings.
I’ve found a handful that I like and I’ve worked with some of them. By no means would I “unrecommend” them because, again, I vetted them out and found them to be above the fold. Unfortunately, it isn’t hard to be better than the rest when the rest are so darn awful.
After years of searching, I finally found a company that truly operates with integrity. Augusta Precious Metals has three important attributes that set them far above the competition:
- Non-Commissioned Sales Team: I cannot stress how important and unique this is. With just about every other company in the Gold IRA industry, the sales teams make commission from every account they open. This means they steer their clients toward the gold and silver products with the highest commission. With Augusta Precious Metals, the team is solely focused on putting the best gold and silver for their clients into their IRA. They get paid to serve the best interests of the Gold IRA client, NOT their own commission pay.
- Incredibly Low Fees: Most Americans would be shocked if they knew the spread other Gold IRA companies charge. Augusta charges just 5% versus up to 45% elsewhere.
- No Pressure, No Gimmicks: There’s an understanding among most in the Gold IRA industry that fear and pressure is the way to go. Augusta Precious Metals takes a sober approach when working with clients because they hold integrity in the highest possible regard. This is why they don’t offer gimmicks like “free” or “bonus” silver. It’s also why they do not apply pressure tactics to get quick sales. Their educational and transparent approach to doing business is exceedingly rare in the Gold IRA industry.
