The media will fail and is failing to inform you of the real state of the economy. The government realizes that it will have to take drastic measures to reconcile the damage. Never underestimate the deviousness of desperate lawmakers — and America's actions over the last decade speak to nothing if not desperation. Washington has a history of surprise moves. "America's Sick Economy" reveals the real state of the economy, how the government plans to use your money to fix it, and what you can do to avoid wealth confiscation.

AMERICA’S SICK
ECONOMY
(And 4 ways to protect yourself from it)
Presented by:

47.7 million
Americans are in poverty (17%)
*the second lowest rate in the developed world

50%
of Americans receive government
benefits of some kind.

Oh, and there’s that
$17
TRILLION
elephant in the room…

If the gov’t wants to fix its
mess,
it has 4 options.

GDP can’t grow fast enough to cover the debts
as the cycle restarts, much less pay the
principal that we owe.

The last budget cut was in 1964, and half the
country is currently on welfare.

It would be impossible to raise taxes to the
degree necessary to pay off the debt and begin
reducing principal.

This quote from a recent IMF report says it all:

“the sharp deterioration of public finances in
many countries has revived interest in a
capital levy – a one-off tax on private wealth -
as an exceptional measure to restore debt
sustainability”
Fiscal Monitor , October 2013

That means anyone
with a positive net worth is at risk.

And this wouldn’t
be the first (or second) confiscation:

In 1933, FDR
criminalized
the possession of
monetary gold to
“prevent hoarding.”

All persons were to
deliver their gold to the
Federal Reserve…

Or face a $10,000 fine,
10 years in prison,
or both.

To prevent their two
biggest banks from
collapsing,

bank deposits were
confiscated
from all citizens.

Instead of wondering
if it will happen...

Why not take action
to prepare yourself?

We’ve spent our careers finding the
most secure methods
to protect and grow your assets.

Here are
4 strategies
you can use to protect your wealth.

Leaving your IRA in the
U.S. limits your
investments:

• Publicly traded U.S. stocks
• Bonds
• Mutual funds
• CDs
*Only*

REAL growth is happening
in foreign markets such as
• Hong Kong
• Singapore
• New Zealand

Your current holder may say that
it’s illegal to move your IRA
offshore.

It’s not a matter of escaping the U.S. or
evading taxes, so long as you reveal the
account to the IRS.

Just be sure
to choose an experienced IRA custodian.

A non-U.S. vantage point can provide a
to your portfolio.
big boost

Strategy
2
Go offshore with annuities
and insurance policies

With an offshore annuity,
you can get access to some of the
best money managers in the world.

Also, a variety of
international investment
options.

Plus, you can receive payments in a
higher-yielding currency…

Saving you from
inflation risks
during these extraordinary
U.S. deficit levels.

So your savings can grow
without
interference.

It’s always a good idea to have some assets
outside the U.S.

Reporting requirements &
High minimums of international banks

Overseas gold storage is
if not tied to a foreign bank account.
not reported

So you want to buy the
largest bars
you can afford.

The smaller you go
the more margin is built into the price.

Strategy
4
Find an “enchanting”
tax haven

Puerto Rico
aka “The Island of Enchantment.”

Most residents
pay no U.S. taxes
on island income.
Here,

Capital gains taxes:
As low as 0% (up to 10%)

No need to hire a lawyer to figure it all
out.

If you want to protect your
financial future…

Editor's Notes

#2: Increase headline and subhead font size. Consider making headline all caps. I also think a better background would be an image. Something that evokes economic destruction.
#9: Add a tiny “the” above “Truth?”
#10: Text doesn’t stand out enough. I also think “the truth is…” and “what it is” should be broken up, to keep the rhythm set by the previous slide. Maybe first phrase in top left and second phrase in bottom right.
#14: Do we need “or more?”
#15: http://users.datarealm.com/hecht/origami/galpix/elephant.jpg
#16: Add a playful “You know…” in top right corner? The previous slide kind of speaks for itself, but I like this slide and think a little tongue-and-cheek would help.
#18: http://www.pionline.com/storyimage/CO/20140618/ONLINE/140619855/AR/0/AR-140619855.jpg
#19: http://www.pionline.com/storyimage/CO/20140618/ONLINE/140619855/AR/0/AR-140619855.jpg Change: “Except, America’s too big.”
#20: http://www.pionline.com/storyimage/CO/20140618/ONLINE/140619855/AR/0/AR-140619855.jpg
#21: http://www.hiebertphotography.com/Images-new/WebOpt/_PR/pc_0796_HHA-20100802_Hiebert.jpg Change to “Budget Cuts” ? “Cut Budget” is just begging for the word “the,” but I understand that would carry over.
#22: http://www.hiebertphotography.com/Images-new/WebOpt/_PR/pc_0796_HHA-20100802_Hiebert.jpg Change: “Except, that won’t happen.”
#23: http://www.hiebertphotography.com/Images-new/WebOpt/_PR/pc_0796_HHA-20100802_Hiebert.jpg And comma after “1964”
#24: http://thenypost.files.wordpress.com/2014/06/irs.jpg
#25: http://thenypost.files.wordpress.com/2014/06/irs.jpg Change: “Except, it can’t raise enough.”
#26: http://thenypost.files.wordpress.com/2014/06/irs.jpg Add “the” before “debt”
#27: Maybe include a picture of the IMF as the background? Or, idk, maybe Obama? Last three options were very dramatic but this is not as engaging.
#29: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/7/7e/International_Monetary_Fund_logo.svg/1005px-International_Monetary_Fund_logo.svg.png Maybe use an actual photo? http://www.biznews.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/imf-international-monetary-fund.jpg
#33: Add “That means” to the beginning. Wouldn’t hurt to mention the fact the government confiscated gold during the Great Depression, or the Cyprus confiscations in March 2013. I think the point needs to be stated a little more before getting to “Instead of wondering if it will happen.”
#46: �ݺ�ߣ looks kind of funny with the small bit of white text up top and lots of white text on bottom. Try paragraph break after “take” and reducing font size of the white, maybe to what it is in the previous slide?
#47: http://www.uh.edu/provost/_images/uh-in-4/piggy-bank.png Need a slide after this explaining why, before getting to current holder saying it’s not possible.
#52: Add a slide after this that qualifies the falsehood. From a legal perspective, it’s not a matter of escaping the U.S. or evading taxes, so long as you reveal the account to the IRS.
#54: Add “When you move it offshore, make sure you” Also, what does this mean exactly? Less regulated options? I get where you going with it, but it could be clearer.
#56: http://www.loanware.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/Hoem-Insurance-Loanware.png Add slide after this: “With an offshore annuity, you can get access to some of the best money managers in the world.”
#58: Change: “Moving offshore also brings you access to a variety…”
#59: Start with “Plus,” End with an ellipsis
#60: Change: “Saving you from inflation risks...”
#62: After add slides I mentioned, transition into this slide with “Not to mention,”
#64: http://www.steamwhistle.ca/goldenopener/img/gold.png
#65: Delete “of”
#67: I want us to be cautious of telling them to avoid U.S. reporting requirements. Can you give me your source on this?
#71: Change: “So you want to buy the largest…”
#72: Change: “So you want to buy the largest…”
#73: http://www.steamwhistle.ca/goldenopener/img/gold.png
#76: Add “such as” to the beginning
#77: Add “such as” to the beginning
#78: I want to beef this section up a bit. Can you give me your source on this as well so I know what your starting point was?
#79: I want to beef this section up a bit. Can you give me your source on this as well so I know what your starting point was?
#80: I want to beef this section up a bit. Can you give me your source on this as well so I know what your starting point was?
#81: I want to beef this section up a bit. Can you give me your source on this as well so I know what your starting point was?
