I hope you are!  I’m not, and neither is my son David.  If I were rich, I’d stop working I suppose, but do I hate or despise those who are rich?  Of course not!  I am not nearly as rich as most of my clients, I am sure.  I do get awfully tired of […]

  When I write a column, besides getting thousands of readers, I usually get some e-mails telling me how good it was, and of course there’s always someone who disagrees, which is OK.  (When you write for yourself, no one can censor, but of course it doesn’t pay very well.)  One fine fellow was outraged […]

  We all remember Waco, when the federal goons set ablaze and killed dozens of foolish innocents, don’t we?  Idiocy personified I suppose, but they weren’t harming anyone.  Their leader was tricked by the feds over some petty gun violation, which he was probably innocent of anyway, and that started one of the sorriest outrages […]

  Al Capone, the Chicago gangster, had a smart lawyer whose nick name was “Easy Eddie.”  “Easy Eddie” was smart, and kept Capone out of jail many times.  As a reward, he was extremely well paid, and was furnished with a huge estate, live in servants and all the luxuries anyone could ever want.  “Easy […]

  The news is full of it.  The papers are full of it.  It’s on everyone’s thoughts and conversations.  What?  “Food is up.”  “People are going to starve.”  “There will be food riots here even.”  “Who can afford to travel with gas what it is?”  On and on it goes, with high prices on food, […]

  The literally tens of trillions of US dollars, which reside in the accounts and safes of the Saudis, Russians, Chinese, Japanese, Koreans, and others, are a time bomb waiting to explode.  Let’s suppose you had a couple of million in the bank, and didn’t know what to do with it?  What would be your […]

  The 12 million or so illegals in America today, are a huge cost to the taxpayers or to the dollar, choose one.  Either we are paying through the nose for them, or they are sustained by printing press scrip, and I know it is the latter.  Thanks to Jack S. for sending me this […]

  Most of you will leave something to your heirs, and most of them will have to pay taxes on what you leave.  Isn’t that grand now?  You paid taxes when you earned it, and now your kids will have to pay again.  A client called me last week and complained about having to pay […]

  I am not sure even I realize just how many dollars are being printed, and how bad our situation is.  Around the world there are hunger riots.  The prices of food have gone so ’high’ in various scrips, that some people are really hungry and unable to buy food. Why?  Because wages and even […]

  Since I really believe we are on the verge of close to hyper-inflation, it may be wise to warn you contractors and other businessmen about not getting your neck in a noose.  Suppose you bid on building a home, taking into consideration the current price of lumber, bricks, pipe, wire, roofing, and even labor.  […]
