The “War on Cash” is heating up. Louisiana has outlawed paying cash for second hand goods, under the pretense that criminals sell stolen goods for cash. France outlawed paying more than €1000 for anything, and you cannot get more than €200 from an ATM. JP Morgan Chase is outlawing storing cash in a safety deposit box. Most […]

COMMENT:  Martin, your recent post makes me wonder when did I become “one of them rich people”? We have a family business, it’s no glamour job, I get dirty everyday and never considered myself financially wealthy. Every day it’s just more regulations, fees and taxes both hidden and upfront.

QUESTION: Marty; you probably do not remember me but I too lived in London two doors down from you in Cornwall Gardens. I watched your Solution Conference. It took a few days to sink in yet it was terribly enlightening. I believe you could really help Britain. We kept the pound thanks to Maggie so […]

Unbeknownst to the vast majority, the entire accounting system of trade had been […]

QUESTION: Hi Marty, Thanks again for the post on Griffin’s book and your short history lesson regarding the same. I’m sure your readers appreciate the time and effort you take to shed light on this subject. My question is do you think we as the United States of America would be better off if there […]

Understanding Jackson’s Bank War is critical to our future. He was absolutely correct insofar following the Jeffersonian view, that a national debt would not be a “blessing” as Hamilton proclaimed, but the servitude of the people that would ultimately consume all liberty. In this vain of thinking, Andrew Jackson was correct and in his annual […]
