The wealth tax is coming

Guest Post by Simon Black

I arrived home late last night back to Puerto Rico after a wonderful, 2-day event with our Total Access members this weekend.

Luminaries like Ron Paul and Robert Kiyosaki joined me on stage, and as you can imagine, we spent a lot of time talking about the trends in western civilization– inflation, social conflict, supply chain disruptions, etc.

We also spent a fair bit of time talking about taxes, given that lawmakers in the Land of the Free are presently bickering about whose taxes to raise, and by how much.
