It's no secret that greed and mismanagement in Washington and on Wall Street has nearly destroyed the American Way of life.  Their tax and offshoring of jobs policies are decimating the working class.

This site will provide tools you can use to regain your economic freedom and perhaps learn some new tricks about learning how to live better on less.

Poor Man’s Guide to Freedom 

 Perhaps the most important piece I’ve ever written.  Even though it’s a concise 27-pages, it is packed with essential how-to steps you need to take to restore your personal freedom during these socialistic and financially devastating times. Many online resources included too.  No charge!

Unless you’ve been asleep for the last 30-years, you may have witnessed the slow, but sure, erosion of our Bill of Rights.  No-knock warrants, seizure laws, anti-gun laws, spying on citizens and more have undermined our Constitution and the government has become the master instead of the servant.

   Few will argue that severe consequences of our government’s debt binge are looming…deflation/inflation, more government controls, etc.  Spending our country into oblivion doesn’t seem the right course of action to me.  More countries favor dumping the dollar as the international currency of choice and that usually means a borrower becomes a servant or slave of sorts (meaning you and I).  If OPEC, for instance, chooses another currency as its standard, watch for cataclysmic changes in this country.

   Virtually every government administration lies about economic statistics.  For example, government stats show average unemployment figures at less than 10% but in reality (due to their faulty accounting methods) it’s probably closer to 20%.  Personal bankruptcies are growing and soon, commercial real estate will take a major hit. Private Property rights have been one of the key elements to the success of this country.  Are we doomed to becoming serfs or ‘tenant farmers’ on our property? 

   You’ll find some of my ideas thought provoking at the very least.  Feel free to pass this along to your friends.

Bruce’s Instant Stimulus Package

1. Revamp the tax system whereby the 1^st $25,000 of income of individual taxpayers is exempt from any kind of taxes, state or federal.  People need every cent to survive and this would provide an instant ‘raise’ which would help the economy.  After $25K, a flat rate of 12% and all non-profits, foreign corporations, domestic corporations would have to pay 12% if they’re doing business in the US.
2. The government would begin selling off unused assets, especially land and buildings.  A modern version of the homestead act would take place whereby average citizens would have 1^st dibs on small plots of land, homes and buildings.  Speculators and investors would be next.
3. I would initiate an immediate across the board 10% pay cut for all federal politicians and cabinet holders.  Government workers would have fewer federal days off and would have to contribute at least 25% of their pay toward health benefits.
4. Immediate tort reform – no more stupid lawsuits.  If you file a frivolous lawsuit and lose, you pay the legal expenses for all.
5. A national health insurance plan, covering at least the basics, would be funded via an additional premium on auto and/or home owners insurance based on a sliding scale.  This would create a very large pool of health subscribers and keep costs down.
6. Massive cuts in military operations overseas.  We don’t need soldiers stationed in 140 countries.
7. Like the Manhattan Project of WWII, the government would devote significant resources to putting people back to work in decent jobs by way of making the US energy independent…jobs in creating a national rail service, energy alternatives and rebuilding of our infrastructure (perhaps like the CCC of the Depression era) would be implemented.
8. For a 10-year period, I’d suspend Congress.  Eliminate their high pay and perks.  The governors from each state would be used; appointing non-partisan representatives to help with decision-making.
9. I would decriminalize marijuana.  We spend too much money incarcerating people for a non-narcotic weed and despite government propaganda, it’s never been proven to lead to hard drug use.  Its sale would be regulated and taxed, adding more revenue while decreasing expenses on law enforcement and prisons.
10.  Finally, my mother would become the National Budget Manager…as a Depression-era woman, she knows how to squeeze a dollar from a dime!
