There have certainly been economic factors beyond the control of average Americans that have resulted in real median household […]
Government – Designed for Robbery
Government – Designed for Robbery Why I’m Looking Forward to the Next Big Crash First, the Dow dropped 190 points on Monday – or 1%. It was threatening to close below 18,000 for the first time in almost three weeks. We’ll wait to find out. Yesterday, a London-based magazine and a TV station interviewed us. […]
