Clearly not since they were more than willing on a number of occasions to shoot that all to hell by maintaining an arbitrary debt ceiling that would by definition cause the country to default on current debt payments we could easily afford to pay! That aside, clearly low interest rates make...

I'm still waiting to see the postcard Trump promised we'd all be able to file our taxes on. That at least would have been a plausible positive outcome of a revenue neutral tax code overhaul. Of course as you pointed out, we got neither.

Nearly everything is a possibility, it's a possibility Trump will nuke Kansas but highly unlikely so not worth spilling ink over. That has nothing to do with if the fed chair is responsible for the spending that past and current Congress' authorized and Presidents signed which caused the current...

France imposed a 75% tax on salaries over 1M Euros back in 2012 which expired at the end of 2014. Another reason to think the data in the info graphic is suspect, there was probably net-inflow after the tax expired as just a natural response of those who wanted to move back home and certainly no...

Actually not, sorry. Probably worth taking a couple classes about how the nations monetary system and government works, there are some great MOOCs out there that are free that you'll probably really enjoy since you're into this stuff.

You people do understand that the Fed chair has absolutely nothing to do with the debt ceiling or the level of spending authorized by congress and approved by the President that generates the national debt? And that the debt ceiling has nothing to do with anything about paying the debts the...

Like I said, special kind of moron.....

You can draw a straight line from China to Australia and label it "Significant Investor Visa Program".

Yeah, I'm going to have to call bullshit on the underlying data for this one as well, apparently came from a South African "market research" firm with a one page website (http://www.newworldwealth.com/) and one employee on LinkedIn.

Snuck up on me when I was sleeping I think.

Certainly there are people trading it OTC in order to do business in Venezuela I'm sure a couple big banks are still working import/export transactions. I just don't think it's available at a retail bucket shop and any trading that is done is probably pretty high touch brokered deals which...

I've run a couple companies that operate OTC markets, although not for FOREX. Based on my experience I just don't see a way for an honest operator to make a good risk adjusted return on any pegged currency. The more stable ones are an issue because the only time they move it's unexpected and...

Both those currencies have an officially pegged exchange rate. With the VEF the actual exchange rate varies considerably from that, and the QAR to a lesser extent. Because of that situation you won't find a broker who's going to list that for punter's to trade, and if they did they'd have to...

So keep your long positions with CME/CBOE and your shorts with an unregulated OTC right? That way your max loss when bitcoin unexpectedly goes much higher is limited to your deposit, and clearing protects you from any joker who can't meet their margin call.

You're an idiot....ignored.

You've got to be a special kind of moron to argue about what someone posted without having read, in fact refusing to read, what they posted. At this point you truly embody the Billy Madison quote "what you have just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point...

I'm an entrepreneur who started and ran 2 successful companies after a full career as a military officer. Along the way I learned a lot of lessons on what does and doesn't grow the business and what role government can serve, which I addressed extensively in this very thread, which again you are...

If you level of intellectual laziness is such that you can't be bothered the read a thread before repeating what was already discussed, then you don't add any value. Sorry, that's just how polite society works.

Read the F&&*%ing thread! I realize that you might not realize how this whole thread concept works. You posted on page 7. There are 6 previous pages of discussion, which you have not read, all about this same topic. If you look near the bottom of the page you'll see something like this: The...

OK, you answered the question, you clearly didn't read the thread as I did a pretty crystal clear explanation of my personal tax situation and others under this plan earlier on! Listen, here's how being a productive, useful, non-troll member of this forum works. If you want to participate in a...
