Well... some of you are probably considering moving to different countries. Different, less socialist countries that don't borrow from the Chinese to spend on social programs that our grandchildren will be paying for working in Chinese mines.

But some will stay.

For those who stay, who make over $200,000 a year, what to do?

1) Sell appreciated assets in the 2012 calendar year. Starting Jan 1, 2013, you will see a minimum 3.8% tax increase on capital gains to pay for the "medicare surtax." That will raise the top rate to 18.8%. If the Bush tax cuts are not extended into 2013 (I think that we have a decent chance of saving them). If the Bush tax cuts are allowed to expire, you will see an increase of 8.8%, as the top rate will climb to 23.8%.

2) Be careful carrying defense industry investments into 2013.

3) Talk to your investment advisor about: your IRA, RMDs from an IRA increase your adjusted gross income, maybe it is time for a Roth conversion?
Some folks will head for tax exempt bonds, as they don't increase your AGI.

4) If you have friends who are wealthy, visit them now, before they get too busy packing to move to their new horse farm or winery in Chile.

5) Do not start a business. The government will take it over and make sure than only the unions get paid.

6) Buy any guns that you have been interested in now. We are one SC justice away from a new look at cases like Heller.

7) Set aside much more of your income for health care and insurance costs.

8) Invent something that stupid people just can't resist. The stupid are now the majority.

9) Manufacture that product for the stupid offshore, and import them into the US. Our government could care less about unfair competition and trade. After all, if they gave China most favored trading status, they will give it to you also. But be careful... they will want to borrow money from you all the time, in order to pay for programs for the stupid, and ensure future re-elections by the hand-out class.

10) Install security cameras. As success continues to be villianized, the youth will continue to seek easier ways to survive. The Thug Life has been glamorized for the media for many years, while working hard and doing the right thing has become passe at best. If you are seen as productive and have visible assets, you are "rich" and you have a target on your back.

Good luck.

State of affairs, ten years later: The only gap in the globalist plan to force a "reset" were the Trump years. No wonder the leftists, globalists, communists, socialists and Californians hate him. Meanwhile, federal tax rates have climbed as high as 37%. Crime is on another level than 2012. China was at war with us the whole time, eventually releasing a bioweapon. Russia is in Ukraine. Taiwan is going to fall. We abandoned AFG. Should we have been there? No. Should we have closed a critical airbase before extraction? Uh... no. Young people, (and increasingly people in general) feel no responsibility to work, produce or create anything with intrinsic, rather than symbolic, value. At least one generation has now been raised through the screen of their mobile device. Chinese fentanyl floods our streets and overdoses are at an unfathomable high. Sock puppet FJB stops pipelines and releases the strategic oil reserve. The stock market is ramped up and dropped. USD cash is printed without basis and dumped all over the world by pallet. The national debt accelerates to an unrecoverable point in one generation. Socialists are literally holding high offices. Communists graduate from West Point with pride. Lockdowns. Supply chain disruption. Literally banning internal combustion in leftist places. Structured and organized social unrest. Racial manipulation. Highest incarceration rate in the world. Crumbling infrastructure. Nork nukes. Remember Lake Mead? "Misery Index." And.... suicide rate. Next up: An "activist" Supreme Court. "You'll own nothing and you'll like it." And a criminalization of conservativism. Not thinking like a leftist makes you a threat. To leftists. It makes you an "extremist." Leftists (who turned their back on cops in 2020) run political ads featuring cops calling conservative candidates "dangerous." Wealth has been demonized. Any job other than community organizer, drag show promoter, social worker, or vegan lifestyle blogger has been deemed harmful. Idiocracy was a documentary. Freedom is no longer a value and has been replaced by the false promise of safety. Idiots surrender that freedom election by election, by voting for those who incrementally remove it. Independence, the value which built this nation, is a threat to the Collective. And the media is nothing but the propaganda arm of The Ministry.

The 2020s: Marxists toss Molotovs with impunity while the media discusses thought crimes of conservatives.

It is about as disgusting as can be imagined.

But, they are bound and determined to make it worse.

In 2022, folks who have morals, ethics and love America are called "extremists" by socialists controlling the narrative.

Toward the end of the Sunday service, the Minister asked, "How many of you have forgiven your enemies?"

80% held up their hands. The Minister then repeated his question. All responded this time, except one man, Walter Barnes.

"Mr. Barnes, are you not willing to forgive your enemies?"

"I don't have any," he replied gruffly.

"Mr. Barnes, that is very unusual. How old are you?"

"Ninety-eight," he replied. The congregation stood up and clapped their hands.

"Mr. Barnes, would you please come down in front and tell us all how a person can live ninety-eight years and not have an enemy in the world?"




The old golfer tottered down the aisle, stopped in front of the pulpit, turned around, faced the congregation, and said simply, "I outlived all them assholes."

Then he calmly returned to his seat.
