– Theme: Tax Time in the US. I have never seen as much frustration with the complexity. Concern regarding fairness and future increases. And concern that we are funding a federal government that is working against the best interests of individuals. At the same time there is a contradiction as a result of the dependency of so many households directly or indirectly of the federal government. Taxes are an integral part of the slow burn – and the resulting debasement. The positive is that more and more people are getting interested in the nature of money, how the currency and financial systems work and what they can do about it.If you do have a foreign financial account, please make sure you access our Solari Special Report: Foreign Investment Filing Requirements – 2011 this tax season. It is a great link to send to your CPA or tax preparer if they are not familiar with the new rules going into effect for 2011 individual filings.

By Catherine Austin Fitts
Families and communities are struggling with significant currency debasement and ever more complex regulation which function as capital controls, shutting off opportunity and liquidity to the average person. What to do? Individually, we can reposition our personal and family assets. We can start businesses. The next step is to improve the transaction flow between individuals and business.
This Thursday we will speak with Thomas H. Greco, Jr., proprietor of Reinventing Money and author of New Money for Healthy Communities, Money: Understanding and Creating Alternatives to Legal Tender and The End of Money and the Future of Civilization. Tom has spent decades writing, researching and educating about the importance of providing alternatives to a financial system that is draining us. We will describe ideas that are working and how they might energize our efforts individually and in our neighborhood and networks.
I will start with Money & Markets and Ask Catherine. Post your questions in the comments section. In Let’s Go to The Movies, a review of Paul Grignon’s animation series, “Money as Debt, I, II and III.”
