I have been researching the St Kitts & Nevis economic citizenship program for a while now, and it is far and away the quickest route to expatriation. Basically 200K plus legal fees gets you a second passport. I would bet business is booming right now.

What do you think is more important to an entrepreneur- freedom to litter, or freedom to keep more than 50% of earnings? Singapore: 20% personal tax, 18% corporate tax, and 0% cap-gains tax.

I was more asking to where in the world you would go to escape the rapid socialist decent of America. It is quite sad. The US used to be the place to escape to. Not many places for a young motivated entrepreneur these day That being said, I like Singapore and Ireland (12.5% corp tax) for a...

Absolutely unbelievable. What a f-ing scam. http://dealbreaker.com/2009/07/the-ultimate-insider-trading-s.php http://washingtonindependent.com/50913/insider-trading-bill-looks-to-hold-congress-to-corporate-standard...

My feeling exactly. Where are you looking, and how do you plan to preserve wealth in the interim? Thanks.

1837- Caused by paper money inflation 1857- Caused by inflationary boom resulting from 1840's gold rush. But over in two years. 1873- Caused by government artificially contracting the money supply by demonetizing silver. 1893- Silver remonetization (sort-off) in 1890 caused inflationary...

Seeing how those 40 pages were the whole point of that novel, I stand by my assertion. Maybe you read a bit, but with no understanding.

Austrians have no problem with debt, just the mis-pricing of it caused by central bank/government interference. "Criticize debt is to criticize the free market itself." Are you on crack? Debt is completely compatible with free markets- I have 5 dollars, you need 5 dollars; You promise to pay me...

You clearly never read her, so no point in discussing, but I will indulge. Rand's worldview was based on the belief that there are indeed hard-working, self-interested individuals in the world who do not seek to exploit their fellow man, and that these people are the drivers of improvement in...

You must have never read any Austrian economics, since none ever claimed that recessions could be eliminated. Austrian principles could however minimize much of the destruction caused by the credit fueled boom/bust cycle.

The point is that you only have times like this because of the previous monetary expansion, which produced the positive feedback loop.

Have you or RC ever even read Rand? What exactly did she write that is unrealistic? The individual entrepreneur is the driver of human progress. Freedom is better than slavery. The world is filled with moochers who would rather take from others than earn for themselves. Government...

That is because economics is not a science.

Reread Specterx's post. The desire to earn interest would still be fulfilled without fractional reserve banking. Lending would simply occur through bonds (MBS, CDO for example) or term deposits.

You clearly know nothing about Austrian economics or Objectivism. What you mention is the very basis of both philosophies.

Thanks for that. Best post I've read in a while.

All I know about AAA is that he is one of the best writers on ET and his posts are generally thoughtful and well reasoned. You, on the other hand, share none of these qualities.

Do you find it odd that you're such a mindlessly aggressive prick that you can't figure out he was obviously referencing the Kaiser piece?

You could probably present a good argument as to why the French president holds the most power. A couple of counter points regarding G7 parliamentary leaders: They are not directly elected, and therefore do not achieve the popular mandate granted to the French and US president. This...

Conception is the fusion of two specialized cells, and the combination of genetic material initiates a biological pathway that results in the birth of a new individual. Regardless, yours sounds like an arguable position. Certainly better than selecting a date arbitrarily.
