United Slaves of America
Wednesday, September 21, 2011 at 4:34PM I used to have a girlfriend of Vietnamese descent. We really didn't have much in common and she was a little light on intelligence - as can be normal for young girls. But, she was one of those asian sportscar show models that are quite popular on calendars and on the internet... so I was happy at the time none-the-less.
Once we got to know each other she told me an amazing story about her family. She said both her parents immigrated to Canada from Vietnam during the Vietnam war. But, they didn't just take a plane, they were stuffed into a shipping container with a number of others and spent weeks in the container. Worse, the ship sunk at one point and they ended up on the debris at some point before being saved. Many of the hopeful emigrants died en route but her father and mother survived.
When I met her circa 2004 I was briefly living in Santa Monica, California. She was Canadian but her parents had told her they wanted her to go to the US to "find an American husband" so she could get an American passport.
I hope she never got the passport. An American passport is now a certified certificate of slavery. Her parents, like many people, live in the rearview mirror and wanted her to be an American citizen because they believed the US is the land of prosperity.
Sadly people used to run to the US... now they mostly run away from it. It would be ironic for her parents to have escaped communism and near certain oppression and death in Vietnam to bring their daughter to the now Fasco-communist police state of America which is on the verge of collapse and likely to be one of the most inhospitable places to live and to be a citizen over the coming years.
ACCIDENTAL AMERICANS UNDER ATTACK
You see, once you become an American citizen, even if just for a few days when you were born, you are a slave for life to the US Government.
Wendy McElroy wrote an excellent piece at the Mises Institute, entitled, "The Attack on Accidental Americans" showing the extent the US Government will go to hunt down people worldwide with any connection to it.
According to Wendy:
"The IRS is making a worldwide push to squeeze money from Americans living abroad and from anyone who holds dual citizenship, whether they know it or not. It doesn’t matter if the “duals” want U.S. status, have never set foot on U.S. soil or never conducted business with an American. It doesn’t matter if those targeted owe a single cent to the IRS. Unlike almost every other nation in the world, the United States requires citizens living abroad to file tax forms on the money they do not owe as well as to report foreign bank accounts or holdings such as stocks or RSSPs. The possible penalty for not reporting is $10,000 per “disclosed asset” per year."
In many instances, even those born abroad to American parents are considered "dual citizens" and are deemed to be under the US Government tax dragnet for life.
Wendy finishes by stating, "How long can America maintain that people “hate us for our freedom”? People fear and hate America for its totalitarianism. And among those people filled with fear are American citizens."
100% AMERICAN CITIZENS HAVE IT JUST AS BAD OR WORSE
For those who hold an American passport, whether they realize it or not, they are basically owned for life. Slaves, pure and simple.
Sure, it's different than the 1700s brand slavery. But, that is only because governments realized they can get more out of their tax slaves if they are granted a few "liberties".
Now, in the US, you can't hardly do anything without permission (license) and without half your labor being taken by force. And, unlike many other less-aggressive tax farms, even if Americans try to leave the US, the US Government will continue to tax them on worldwide income for the rest of their life.
The only way out of it is to burn your American passport, which more are doing all the time, and still the US Government will consider you its property for another 10 years, even after that.
No one has ever asked us where the worst country in the world is to get a passport. But, if they did, it would be the US, unequivocally. Sure, having a North Korean passport or a Cuban passport might be bad, but at least once you get outside of those countries they do not have the wherewithal or the means to track you down worldwide.
American citizens are, by far, the most globally enslaved. Just try to open a brokerage account anywhere in the world with an American passport. Watch how their faces look like they have seen a ghost. You will be quickly, yet politely, shown the door.
Persona non grata.
DON'T LISTEN TO THE OTHER SLAVES
Ignore Warren Buffet and his request to be taxed more. Warren is now a part of the financial elite. The financial elites and their henchman, like Paul Krugman, all try to keep you in the dark as to your slavery. While he tells you he wants to be taxed more he also accepts billions of dollars in TARP money to keep his business alive (without TARP, Berkshire would have gone under).
Useful Idiot, Mark CubanOthers are just what are referred to as useful idiots. Take Mark Cuban. He is a billionaire. But, if there was ever going to be an asterisk beside a name on that list, it would be his. While he may be a decent entrepreneur, he made his entire fortune by registering the domain name broadcast.com and selling it at the very peak of the internet bubble to Yahoo for $5.9 billion. Kudos to him. Wish we'd been smart enough to do the same. But, to this day, broadcast.com just points to Yahoo's front page as a $5.9 billion reminder of what a waste of money it was.
Nonetheless, Cuban, in response to Obama's new "Buffet Tax", wrote in his blog, "While some people might find it distasteful to pay taxes. I don’t. I find it Patriotic."
Ignore people like Cuban. They are just brainwashed slaves. As are almost everyone around you. If you are reading this you are in the minority who are awakening or who are awake.
STATISM IS DEAD
The following video from friend, Stefan Molyneux, does an excellent job of explaining our enslavement and how we have gotten to this point. Please pass this article or the video along to as many people as you can. Awakening your fellow slaves can happen in an instant once they see the truth.
As it states in the video, there is no free place on earth. Just varying degrees of enslavement. However, many countries are much less aggressive about collecting their dues and if you can manage to structure your life to be a citizen of a non-aggressive tax country, position your income or business out of a low-tax, low-regulation jurisdiction and then live as a "tourist" in a country where they are liberal about lifestyle laws, you can be as free as is currently human possible.
A FOREIGN PASSPORT
Even though it is nearly impossible to escape the American Government tax dragnet it is still of great use for Americans to get a foreign passport. For one, you can open financial accounts abroad. Secondly, the US Government has shown that it will do anything and everything it takes to keep its power, including taxing any amount it deems fit. IRAs and 401Ks are likely something they are looking at and licking their lips. For this reason, we recommend taking a look at the Unleash Your IRA product and getting a second passport to be able to open accounts abroad easily.
A second passport can be easily attained via our Dominican Republic residency and passport program. We have found the Dominican Republic to be the easiest and cheapest way to get a 2nd passport. As well, Paraguay is another good option. In the October issue of The Dollar Vigilante we will have more information on how to get that passport (Subscribe here).
WHAT HAPPENED TO THE GIRL
As for the Vietnamese car show model, we ended up breaking up after I told her parents they'd be better off getting their daughter a Vietnamese passport than to become a citizen of the United Slaves of America.
They didn't like that answer. That's okay. Maybe Mark Cuban is still available. He's rich and looks like he can dance, too.
