Day before yesterday Warren Buffet, a fairly wealthy guy, was testifying before Congress on the merits of the "death tax." Buffet was testifying in favor of the tax, and he stated that Americans are undertaxed, and there is no reason why they should be unwilling to pay this tax.

What Warren wasn't letting all the naive Congressmen in on was that his business thrives on the death tax. His banks, insurance companies, and finance outfits all benefit immensly from the system as it is. They start keeping a vigil as soon as a small businessman or farmer gets sick. Then when he dies, and the family has to pay the 55% death tax, they are ready to purchase all the assets at a discount, resell them, and make a bundle of dough.

The idiotic Congressman treated Buffet like a hero. Now if you happen to own stock in Buffet's company, Berkshire Hathaway, you probably think Warren is a hero, and I don't blame you. If you invested $10,000 bucks with BH a decade or two ago, it's probably worth several million dollars. Nothing wrong with that. But some of that money comes from predatory tax policies that Buffet understands better than anybody on the planet. He buys low in a crisis, holds, then sells high later on. Classic stuff.

But listening to him on this issue is like negotiating with the wolf after he has eaten half the henhouse. The death tax as we know it should be abolished. Warren has plenty of other ways to make money.

One way you can make money is by selling self defense products. Over the years I have created over 4000 distributors who all make a nice income without working all that hard. I always tell them to spend it before they go.
