I have warned that all the talk behind the curtain I was hearing when the Democrats won the House was that as soon as they go in, they would be looking at raising taxes to where they use to be back before Reagan. Well it did not take long. The new Congresswoman from New York with ZERO experience in economics, is now arguing to raise taxes on the “rich” Americans to 70% to her idea of a“Green New Deal.” She has also come out and called Trump a racist totally failing to understand that there are only four races, black, red, white, and yellow. Mexican is not a race it is an ethic group just as Americans are not some mythical single race. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez came out on Friday and said:

“You look at our tax rates back in the 60s, and when you have a progressive tax rate system, your tax rate, let’s say, from $0 to $75,000 may be 10% or 15%, etc. But once you get to the tippy tops, on your 10-millionth dollar, sometimes you see tax rates as high as 60% or 70%.” 

Of course, the tax cuts in the 1960s were introduced by John F. Kennedy – a democrat. It was those high tax rates that drove American manufacture offshore to begin with. Americans are taxed on worldwide income. When I testified before the House Ways & Means Committee, the question they ask me why did no American firms get any contracts to build the Yellow River Dam in China? I explain that Germans did not pay worldwide income tax so when they big on such a project, they were already 40% less. Any German personnel that went there were also tax free. Ocasio-Cortez  is clueless about taxes and economics.

I have to state plainly. I am very much aware of the trend in Washington. It looks like our taxes are going to rise significantly!!!! As interest expenditures soar consuming a greater and great proportion of total spending, both parties will resort to rising taxes. I see Trump as the last hope in holding off that trend for the one thing he does understand in debt servicing. But I have also warned that our models show Trump is a reaction within a bear market trend in government. So I am not hopeful of the future to say the least.

Personally, this means at some point I will have to make a decision. I shut down operations entirely and just walk the beach, or I will have to resign my citizenship and leave for Asia. I have not made that decision. I just have to realize I personally need Plan B and Plan C. Part of the Crash & Burn requires someone like Ocasio-Cortez to complete devastate Western Economies. Once she raises that taxes in the USA to such levels, the rich will flee as took place in France and economic growth will collapse causing unemployment to rise and presto = civil unrest.

The greatest flaw in American politics is that the tax rate is not stable. It reflects the brainwave of someone suffering from Schizophrenia. Nobody would sign a lease to an apartment where it allowed the landlord to rise the rent anytime if he determines he needs money. This is why companies left in the first place. Not because they paid a worker $5 instead of $10 an hour. It was to get guaranteed deals with respect to fixed taxation rates.

The stage has been set and Elizabeth Warren, aka Pocahontas, is to Run for President. What is going to be really interesting besides her becoming more vocal now for the next two years, will be the revelation of how corrupt she really is. She has bashed the banks and is the closest thing to a full-fledged Marxist in the Democratic Party so will the like of Goldman Sachs fill her purse with money to defeat Trump?

We all know about the claim Warren made to get into Harvard Law School back in the 90s claiming she was a Native American. She claimed that she was pointing to “family stories” passed down to her through generations as evidence. Harvard had singled her out claiming she was a leading Native American student. Warren later acknowledged that she had listed herself as a minority in an Association of American Law Schools directory. Warren maintains she never furthered her career by using her heritage to gain advantage.
