 How
Do You 'Lose Track' Of $9 Billion Dollars? Fact: The U.S. Goverment
lost track of $9 billion tax-payer dollars that was supposed to be spent
on Iraqi reconstruction to correct the bomb damage caused by G.W. Bush
[which was also done with tax-payer dollars]. The explanation as
to why the $9 billion is unaccounted for was explained as being due to
'inefficiencies and bad management' [?] This according to a watchdog report
published recently. An inspector general's report
said the U.S.- led administration that ran Iraq until June 2004 is unable
to account for the funds. "Severe inefficiencies and poor management" by
the Coalition Provisional Authority has left auditors with no guarantee
the money was properly used," the report said. "The CPA did not establish
or implement sufficient managerial, financial and contractual controls
to ensure that [Development Fund for Iraq] funds were used in a transparent
manner," said Stuart W. Bowen Jr., director of the Office of the Special
Inspector General for Iraq Reconstruction. The $8.8 billion was reported
to have been spent on salaries, operating and capital expenditures, and
reconstruction projects between October 2003 and June 2004, Bowen's report
concluded. - A solitary individual has to use greater caution in protecting
ones assets than does a government. The articles below provide some
information that may allow the intelligent investor who is concerned
with personal survival some techniques of protecting their assets from
the 'poor management' of others. |

world then ever before. Our asset protection
newsletter is written by some of the best name in the offshore world.
We live in a world where privacy and individuality are under attack. The
right to privacy is more than an abstract necessity, it is also a psychological
necessity. If we do not have the right to privacy, we do not own the rights
to our own lives. Individuality entails making value judgments independent
of political, religious or social dogmas. In making value judgments
we make choices. In today's world, if the choices we make differ
from the status quo then we come under pressure to 'toe the line'. There
is no line to toe. We live in an intellectual vacuum, where short of the
logical choices we make in our own behalf, there are no other values. Asset
protection entails privacy, asset protection entails living our life by
our own standards, asset protection entails protecting what is ours from
those who have not earned it. Find the articles that apply to you

 Expat
Taxes - Offshore Tax Information - Foreign Earned Income Paying Taxes Overseas
- Or, Not Paying Taxes Overseas - Individuals
have been leaving their own land to seek opportunities elsewhere since
the dawn of mankind. But it has only been since the development of the
modern nation-state, and its taxation of the worldwide income of its citizen-residents,
that expatriation has taken on significant tax consequences. One of the
first tax advisors to appreciate the potential tax savings of expatriation
was my friend and colleague, Marshall Langer J.D., a valued member of The
Sovereign Society Council of Experts. Langer is an international tax attorney
and the respected author of several major international tax treatises.
He is also the daring creator of a now out-of-print book, The Tax Exile
Report. This title gained international notoriety when the late U.S. Senator
Daniel Patrick Moynihan (D-N.Y.), red-faced and angry, waived a copy of
the book at a televised Senate hearing, denouncing it as “a legal income
tax avoidance plan.” Also see: Running

 Never
Pay U.S. Taxes Again - Legally - Expatriation:
It’s been called “the ultimate estate plan” and it’s a legal, step-by-step
process that can lead to the legal right for you to stop paying U.S. or
other national income taxes—forever. In sum, it requires professional consultations,
careful planning, movement of assets offshore and acquisition of a second
nationality. When all that’s done (and done exactly right), you must leave
behind your home country and become a “tax exile” with an established domicile
in a low or no-tax jurisdiction. And, for U.S. citizens, this unusual plan
requires, as a final step toward tax freedom, the formal relinquishment
of citizenship. A drastic plan? You bet. And in truth, there are many other
perfectly suitable offshore strategies that The Sovereign Society recommends
that can result in significant tax savings. These include international
life insurance policies (TSI 1/02)5 and offshore investments made
through retirement plans (TSI 7/03).6 But for U.S. citizens and long-term
residents who seek a permanent and completely legal way to stop paying
all U.S. taxes, expatriation is the only option. |
