Better Wealth Management: Internationalize your assets to increase value and minimize taxes, controls, and confiscation.

In addition to the traditional investment diversification of asset classes, the concept of ‘Better Wealth Management’ considers; 1) The ongoing decrease in purchasing power (PP) of the USD (as revealed in pricing of goods and services, and foreign exchange rate), and 2) The threat of increased taxes, capital controls, and confiscation by the U.S. government. This book offers solutions based on; 1) ‘Internationalization’ of assets into nations with strong economies, low capital controls and taxes, and a stable monetary system, 2) Creation of a ‘Multi-Generation Succession Program’, managed by an ‘International Business Corporation’, and 3) Use of ‘Charitable Trusts’ for tax minimization. This approach requires a Wealth Management Plan which considers the economic trends and monetary and fiscal policies of many nations, and which ones to deal with based on whether the PP of their currency, and value of real estate and securities is likely to rise or fall. Chapters 1 to 5 educate investors on the history and problems of our monetary system (this aids investment thinking), and chapter 6 offers non-traditional strategies to increase your wealth, and reduce risk and taxes by internationalizing your assets with a Wealth Management Plan. The USA needs major changes in fiscal and monetary policy to end distortions and losses in our economy, and end corruption in government and the financial services industry. Most people now view the government as the source of laws and funding to ‘fix’ anything, and the Constitution is ignored as ‘old fashioned’. The Federal government gets the most attention because, with its compliant Federal Reserve System, it can create new money at will. Of course, once the door is opened a bit for the government to ‘help’ and ‘manage’ social and business projects, it is pushed wide open by those seeking money and legal favors! The economic and moral decline of our country, and our worldwide Empire-USA, are the result. What does our monetary system have to do with this? The key underlying issues are: 1. Internationally, the U.S. dollar is the world’s primary reserve currency (treated ‘good as gold’ for bank reserves, and used in 70% of international transactions, even when the U.S. is not a party), thus we can create dollars out of thin air to pay our foreign debts (imports and loans) with our own currency (most nations must buy US Dollars) without facing exchange rates (very handy for our big spending government !), and 2. Our central bank, the Federal Reserve System, creates new fake money to fund the excessive federal spending (politicians like that better than raising taxes), plus recent massive bailouts of firms run by their friends, using phony reasons such as ‘too big to fail’. In addition to ‘normal’ borrowing to fund deficits, our federal debt increases because, 1. Our foreign suppliers often invest in U.S. Treasury securities with the dollars we pay them for our imports, thus making it easier for us to borrow and spend more, and 2. More borrowing and new money is needed because U.S. states become dependent on federal money as they seek and accept grants, pork, and federally funded state projects with strings attached (happily provided by vote-seeking congresspersons). All of this federal spending leads to an excessive increase in our money supply, which causes price inflation and eventual failure of the US dollar as its value drops worldwide. Thus, our mode of operation is unsustainable and must end. In summary, if the above issues make seem important to you, and my ideas make sense to you, read this book and then start selection of a Wealth Manager to create your plan for more wealth, and less risk and taxation.
