I don't think the wikigeeks are ideological crusaders. But they definitely don't want MORE government meddling in people's affairs and I like it. Even if you admit that Assange is guilty of receipt of stolen property, he is no worse than many countries's tax agencies. Germany, France and also...

Maybe, but what if a foreign ambassador does it? Who are US bureaucrats accountable to, US citizens, or some foreign country? If the Chinese ambassador starts spying, ridiculing and backstabbing Obama, no matter whether you are democrat, republican or Tea Party, wouldn't you agree with the...

The Wikileaks Cablegate proves that Ron Paul is right. Current US Foreign Policy is a liability not an asset to the US. The USA has no business meddling in other countries' affairs and much less spying, ridiculing, backstabbing and insulting foreign leaders. It doesn't take much intelligence...

If you're a kid, you just want to party and meet lots of chicks Manhattan is good, if you're middle aged you want some safe suburb with great schools for the kids and clean air: CT maybe?, if you're old you want somewhere quiet, with great health care, and clean air, good weather not that cold...

Any profits from offshore companies, owned, directly and/or indirectly, or simply controlled are also taxable. Even companies registered under someone else's name, for example, a strawman, trustee or relative. In the latter case, not disclosing that these companies are actually yours it's a...

Use hot-swappable hard drives, same performance as normal HDs, and more stable than flash drives, these are prone to death by short circuiting.

Google = the U2 of search engines.

So if Google opens a trading account, it will pay only 2.4% on trading profits? EDIT: dumb question, the Bermuda IBC opens the account and then pays zero percent tax.

The problem is not leverage by itself. A highly-leveraged ES trader does not cause systemic risk because if his account goes below required margin he's just kicked out of the casino. The problem is when traders are allowed to make bets they cannot cover if wrong. The banking system leverage...

Exactly. Why did credit derivatives become such a bestseller product? Wall Street told commercial banks they could eliminate current loans from their books so they could LEND MORE and make more money. This couldn't have happened if credit derivatives theoreticians had realized that all kind...

I'm not that Buzzy, but yes, it's a great book.

People in Argentina complain a lot, but they are about to re-elect the culprits: the peronists. What a bunch of masochistic idiots. And why are the Kirchners so popular these days? Keynesian Stimulus, oldest electoral trick of populist cheaters and thieves...

Money 101: If you're not making money then you're losing it.

Old pinko socialist trick: trying to rebel the masses against the "rich", so the real crooks can escape punishment, keep laughing at the proletariat while making them pay their bill.

I agree 100%, it's what I'm saying. Don't forget: -If you control the foundation you can "borrow" from it from example a 100 million mansion and the IRS won't be able to touch you because a) it's not yours it's the foundation's b) the foundation is tax exempt. Same thing for art works, yachts...

Private Foundations are mostly tax-shelter structures. If Gates' children do not inherit the money they will not pay any taxes. But I'm sure they will fully control the foundation, so they will be able to "borrow" its money, its real estate, etc. This is how the ultra-rich pay very little taxes...

Do like sleazy strip clubs: sell $500 "champagne bottles" to share privately with the "barmaid", or, sell $10 "special cigars".

The Fed causes overleverage, not deleverage. Deleverage comes when reality hits the system.

Do you know this for a fact, have you seen any poll or something, or are you just b.s.ing and pulling it out of your ***??
