I think a 7.5% Federal flat tax would cover the bill for the Feds. The next thing would be to eliminate the state income tax, as well as any miscellaneous unconstitutional tax (i.e. gas tax, phone usage surcharges, property tax, etc...) and simply use a 7.5% sales tax on ALL items, including clothing and food. This would leave you 85% of your money. Do you think you would have a little extra money to throw around if you got to keep 40% more of your paycheck?

On the subject of illegals. I have a friend here in Southern California who was a 4th grade teacher last year. This year the school, because it was "underfunded", combined classes, so she had both 4th and 5th graders in her class. Not only that, she had twice as many students to teach. She just lost her job due to budget cuts. Now here comes the fun part. The school decided, at the beginning of this year, to request both address and phone information from the parents of the students. Out of a school of only 800 students, 300 simply dropped out instead of furnishing the information! Now why would they do that? My bet is because the parents didn't want anyone poking around because... THEY WERE HERE ILLEGALLY! Let's see, 300 divided by 800 = 37.5% of the students were Illegal. Now here is another fun fact. These kids eat breakfast and lunch for free EVERY DAY. If the average cost of each meal was $4.00 x 2 meals = $8/day. $8.00 per day x 300 students = $2400.00 PER DAY x 22 school days in a month = $52,800.00 PER MONTH x 10 months = $528,000.00 PER YEAR on food for people who are NOT SUPPOSED TO BE HERE. A few more tidbits: You really think that those 300 were the only ones? Not a chance. They were just the ones who weren't sneaky enough to use someone else's phone number or address. What if another 10% did this? That jumps the final number up to $668,800.00 per year on just food costs. From one small school. There are hundreds of schools just like this one in southern California. Keep in mind that this doesn't include the additional teaching costs, the reduction in learning potential because lesson have to be done in both Spanish and English (because most of the illegals don't speak English), the loss of teaching jobs because money is soaked up by the other costs (i.e. food). My teacher friend made $38,000 per year. So did the other 10 teachers they let go at her school. If that school wasn't paying for the illegals food cost, there would have been money to pay all those laid off teachers, plus between $110,000-$250,800 left over for other programs, depending on how many were actually illegal. Just some food for thought.

Not long ago my brother and I split a million Dinar that we purchased from a marine. He was getting married and needed the money. We joked on our way home the conversation he might have to have with his new wife. "Hunny, remember when I needed an extra $900 bucks for our wedding?"...

I think it refers to happening in JULY.

Check out my topic on Shabibi VS Greenspan for more info on this. It has to be deceptive because of the influence they have on the market movement...

Thanks for the welcome. Check out my other topic (Shabibi vs Greenspan) for some other similar info. I agree that there are controls/measures in place to make sure the "peasants" don't change their lot in life. Think about it. If a government relies on people relying on them, and suddenly the people are able to take care of themselves, there is no more need for a large portion of government.

Here is an example of why Shabibi has to be carefull about what he says. Remember Alan Greenspan? If not I will refresh your memory. He was the Chairman of the Federal Reserve from 1987 until 2006. Shabibi is the Chairman for the CBI (Iraq's equivalent central bank). On December 5, 1996, when the former chairman of the Federal Reserve, Alan Greenspan, spoke his famous phrase about "irrational exuberance," stock markets across the world fell. He actually used the term in the following rhetorical question he posed to his audience, "But how do we know when irrational exuberance has unduly escalated asset values, which then become subject to unexpected and prolonged contractions as they have in Japan over the past decade?" Adding, "We as central bankers need not be concerned if a collapsing financial asset bubble does not threaten to impair the real economy, its production, jobs and price stability." The stock market in Tokyo, which was open as he gave this speech, fell sharply, and closed down 3%. Hong Kong also fell 3%. Then markets in Frankfurt and London fell 4% and the U.S. continued the trend and fell 2% at the opening of trade.

Granted, half the world is not tied to the Dinar like it is to the Dollar. None the less, when the Chairman of a central bank says something, it can shift ENTIRE MARKETS, with but a few words. Here is what the CBI has to say about Shabibi, just so you can see that he is a real player and not some slouch: http://www.cbi.iq/index.php?pid=TheCbi

Absolutely my point. Education about counter-intelligence will shed lots of light on these tactics... but you proly already knew that!

I believe there will be an RV. Date and rate? I have no idea, and I believe that only a very privileged few know those specifics. I believe it will happen, just as most of you do. My reasons are solidified when I researched for myself what is actually occurring, versus what a few individuals who are NOT in the privileged circle are claiming. If you follow the checklist of the things that would need to occur (i.e. exiting Ch. 7 UN Sanctions, DFI Fund control, oil rev increasing, etc...), so many of them are done or on the cusp that it is very exciting to watch. The biggest reason I believe it will happen is the disinformation put out by some folks. If you look at simple post counts, you will see people people with 5, 10, or 15 comments total, being members for a month or two, putting the most negative comments, speaking out against anything positive that anyone says. Now before anyone says anything, I know I haven't been a member that long, or have that many posts, but if you look, I think what I have had to say has been both positive and relevant. Here is a great link to understanding the opposing forces at work in this operation. http://videos.howstuffworks.com/howstuffworks/41346-misinformation-vs-disinformation-video.htm If you watch it, I think you will agree that many things in this video are occurring in this forum, as well as many others. Now, if this was NOT going to occur, why expend the effort to mis- and dis-inform? It is a simple answer. The huge volumes of claimed Dinar in circulation makes most say "Yeah right, it can't happen.", so they don't get involved. The constant disappointment from the pumper crowd make many who have invested lose interest, and either not get more involved, or get out all together. The fact that this topic of Iraq's money has, to my knowledge, never made it into the main stream media. This is a big indicator that something is there. Please for the love of God, don't go risking the farm because of what I have posted. This is only supposed to provide some sunshine on some otherwise frustrating times. Go RV!

Thanks for the great post. I appreciate when folks have real situations to talk about, without all the fluff of "She looked at me in shock when I mentioned the Dinar"...etc.

Best... explanation... EVER Most of the large corps have already done the over seas jump. Wait until the smaller corps get sick of it and pack up. When they do, you can bet your ass they will expatriate so they will no longer be subject to these ridiculous tax increases. Then you can say bye-bye to the America we had known and loved, because who's gonna fix it? The 4 that don't pay anything? 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9 who ***** and complain about what # 10 has?

The best advice I learned is: "Go with what you know." That means stay away from the things you don't understand fully. Since the RV hasn't happened yet, you still have time to learn about the subject you are unfamiliar with. Crack a book, or better yet, hit up Google and start reading. Balance your risk, most low risk, with maybe 10% toward higher risk. A few examples: 1) An uncle of mine got wiped out by investing in Soy Bean Futures. He lost well over a million because he got sold on the potential, but didn't truly understand the risks about how he could lose it all. When the margin got called, he was done. It destroyed his entire life savings of nearly 25 years. 2) My brother and I wrote a screen play, hired a pre-production company to create the films budget, and went looking for money to get it produced. We went to someone we knew had the money, and also had the friends that could too if he decided he didn't want to. His exact words were "Sorry boys, that's just not in my wheel house." Us- "Huh? What does that mean?" Him- 'Well, I just don't know enough about it to take that risk." This from a guy who could have funded the entire project and not even blinked. Bottom line, protect your cash. Don't give it to anyone who claims they will watch it for you. Watch it yourself! Trust me, nobody has your best interest in mind more than you. Would you rather your money sit in a savings account making 1% a year, or give it to someone who claims they can make you 10-20%, only to find at the end of the year that your money is all gone? Remember, once this happens, this will not be a sprint, it will be a marathon. The winner will be able to pass on their estate to their children's children's children. The loser will die penniless with a great "remember when" story to pass on.

Here is a nice article about Trusts. http://www.free-living-trust-information.com/advantages-of-a-living-trust.html Here is a nice article about LLC's. http://www.thellcexpert.com/articles/benefits_of_an_llc.htm Please note, I do NOT work for, sell, or offer ANY of these services. I simply Googled "What are the benefits of a Trust/LLC, and picked out the articles that I felt best described them. I have personally had 2 separate S corp's, and 1 Non Profit. The business' I was in required S corps to function, so I don't have first hand knowledge of the LLC. A good thing to check out would be the differences between an S Corp and an LLC to see what your specific situation would require. I know the main difference is the stock/ownership characteristics, which translates to how/who you pay dividends to, which translates to a significant difference in the amount of tax you pay when you take the money out of the entity. The stock ownership/type will also come in to play if you happen to build that LLC/S Corp into a business that needs to take on partners in the future. As for the Trust, the gist of it is that if you fund your Trust BEFORE you pass on, you save your heirs a significant amount of headache (and tax liability). Simply holding the asset in an LLC/S Corp doesn't offer the same inheritance protection. One option is having a Trust own the stock in the Corp, which means you could pass the Corp on to your heirs too. (Please talk to your tax adviser about this specific detail. It was simply an idea my adviser ran by me.) You basically fund the Trust, and take a disbursment at specified times (monthly, quarterly, yearly, etc...). Hope this helps!

Hi Kenny Powers, Please don't take this an an attack. I am simply rebutting your comment about "who would purchase more than 500,000 Dinar?'. I think anyone with the additional resources to do so. Everyone has different hopes, dreams, fears, and concerns. Some want a simple house, free and clear, with an acre and a view of the countryside. Others want a jet, a garage full of toys and exotic cars, and a huge house, free and clear, with 1000 acres and a view of the ocean. Some will feel secure with a million. Most of those folks can barely imagine a million dollars. In an article I read on MSN and CNN the other day, several multi millionaires (at least $3 MM liquid to qualify) were intervied and said they wouldn't feel secure unless they had $7 MM liquid. Bottom line, it is all relative to the individual's dream.

I know this is my first post, so take it for what it is worth. I have been in the finance world for a long time, and have seen many scammers with the latest way to get rich. From million dollar credit lines by investing $25k, to outright theft from escrow accounts, I have seen it all. What these folks want is to be right when it happens. They want to be right when it happens because they know that people have short term memories for their failures, but will remember forever the good times. If they are the ones who are correct at predicting the rate/date, they will look like super hero's to a bunch of folks who have never had any real amount of money, and will be desperate to figure out what to do with it. Once that trust is created, weather it was earned or coincidence, the newly rich folks will gladly throw piles of cash towards anything that these liars tell them to. The unfortunate thing that I have seen on these forums is most are waiting "for the party". On one hand, they are treating it like is is a lottery ticket that they scratched off. On another hand they are claiming to be investors. I am not bashing anyone, just making an observation. Since the average human being has never had access to a resource like several million dollars in cash, they are not going to be mentally prepared to deal with the onslaught of people who suddenly know what to do with their new found wealth. One that comes to mind is the pair who are/were attempting to start a hedge fund. I won't name names, but if you Google dinar hedge fund, you will probably find these guys. The gist of it is, this pair, who have never made more than a few hundred thousand dollars, are attempting to be in charge of several billions dollars. Who in their right mind would give these people money? I'll tell you who. Someone who's living paycheck to paycheck and suddenly just had 3-5 million dropped in their lap, that's who. Don't listen to these obvious liars. Don't give them any money before, during or after. Remember, if they will lie to you with out any money on the table, why wouldn't they lie to you when there are millions on the table?
