I don’t see this country surviving more than a couple more years, We had a good run

This is how you fix it.

Texas and maybe Louisiana secede and the marxists issue orders to bring them back.

The US Military instead rounds up the socialists and puts them on a plane to Cuba.

Provisional military government for 6 months, then new elections for all congressional seats and the WH, incumbents need not apply.

Only tax paying citizens and veterans are enfranchised in the new Republic.

All amendments other than the original bill of rights are repealed.

"Dueling" legalized within Washington DC limits.

Problem solved.

Yes, either that or go with a numbered account in Liechtenstein, if they still do it. If you are going to the trouble of hiding money, then hide it.

...criminalizing the melting and export of cents and nickels.

So if I'm traveling overseas and my name comes up on the enemies list they can have me arrested for having nickels in my pocket change?

I’m glad you made the bad guy red, the traditional color of communism. This “Red State” “Blue State” template is the SRM trying to make us forget.

The Holy O is just following the example of his hero Stalin: shaking down the kulaks and confiscating their property to benefit party apparatchiks and unwashed rabble that supports them.

Maybe in future cabinet nominees. That seems to be where the dim tax cheats gather these days.

I think there won't be any.

But, there will be a couple hundred Republicans.

Instead of just bending over and dropping their drawers, the Swiss should have made it a capital crime to ask or cause someone to ask the name of a bank account holder.

Then if the inquiries continued,they should have issued international arrest warrants for the agents they are dealing with and their bosses including Timothy Geithner.

RED is the socialists banner, and is exactly the reason why the socialist press switched overnight after the Carter election and started calling the free states "Red" and the socialist states "Blue".

Early on, some channels used a scheme of red for Democrats and blue for Republicans. The first television news network to use colors to depict the states won by presidential candidates was NBC.

In 1976, John Chancellor, the anchorman for the NBC Nightly News, asked his network's engineers to construct a large electronic map of the USA. The map was placed in the network's election-night news studio. If Jimmy Carter, the Democratic candidate that year, won a state it would light up in red; if Gerald Ford, the Republican, carried a state it would light up in blue. The feature proved to be so popular that four years later all three major television networks would use colors to designate the states won by the presidential candidates on Election Night. NBC continued to use the color scheme employed in 1976 for several years; NBC newsman David Brinkley famously referred to the 1980 election map as showing Ronald Reagan's 44-state landslide as resembling a "suburban swimming pool".[6]

CBS, from 1984 on, used the opposite scheme: blue for Democrats, red for Republicans. ABC used yellow for one major party and blue for the other in 1976. However, in 1980 and 1984, ABC used red for Republicans and blue for Democrats. As late as 1996, there was still no universal association of one color with one party.[7] If anything, by 1996, color schemes were relatively mixed, as CNN, CBS, ABC, and The New York Times referred to Democratic states with the color blue and Republican ones as red, while Time Magazine and the Washington Post used an opposite scheme.[8][9][10]

In the days following the protracted 2000 election, major media outlets began conforming to the same color scheme because the electoral map was continually in view and conformity made for easy and instant viewer comprehension. On Election Night that year there was no coordinated effort to code Democratic states blue and Republican states red; the association gradually emerged. Partly as a result of this eventual and near-universal color-coding, the terms "red states" and "blue states" entered popular usage in the weeks following the 2000 presidential election. Journalists began to routinely refer to "blue states" and "red states," even before the 2000 election was settled.[citation needed]

After the results were final, journalists stuck with the color scheme, as the December 2001 The Atlantic's cover story by David Brooks entitled, "One Nation, Slightly Divisible" illustrated. Thus, red and blue became fixed in the media and in many people's minds,[11] despite the fact that no "official" color choices had been made by the parties.

They can be sold to coin dealers just as you would sell other coins and old jewelry. What happens after that is none of my business. :)

And it wouldn’t hurt to have a few homemade silver bullets on hand with Hillary! still allowed to roam around loose in the world, LOL!

At the very leaset, since I don’t have CC in my state, a few rolls of nickels in the end of a sock leaves a pretty good ‘impression’ upon a thug when you want to protect yourself. :)

http://www.time.com/time/business/article/0,8599,1917829,00.html divorce clients on the trail with UBS, AND

As an aside, of relevance, there are 52,000 accounts at UBS, all the rest should come out too....one can guess why the main body is shielded ...thousands of politicians, etc. as well as the internationally legitimized Swiss tradition of secrecy, unchallenged to date. Note, historically, since WWII, that there are reported now about 280,000 ‘private banks’ in the Carribean, 8-11 members and officers required in each bank varying on the island govt. with jurisdiction, which are ‘neutral banking jurisdictions’, meaning they do not communicate with the Fed Res System and are not in reach of the IRS. None of these ‘banks’ do any public business. They are merely repositories of unreachable funds for private international use. There are more banking charters than maritime ship registrations/flags of convenience!!..tax havens supreme. The US Navy probably exists more to protect these banks than it does our own banks. We should use our Navy to reclaim the assets in these banks, and thereby reclaim the stolen wealth from our country, now that the middle class, in the process of being enslaved, has rapidly diminishing assets to be taxed. Fully 2/3rds of the 280,000 ‘banks’ are owned by Americans?! The so called Obama initiative of ‘tax the rich’, avoids their biggest asset repository, Caribbean private banks, chartered there. The focus on Switzerland, and one bank, with a minimal sampling of tax evaders is only a diversion from the vastly larger international picture of tax evasion. The selection criteria of the 4-5000 being exposed at UBS must be suspect of being diversionary in its’ isolation...and, perhaps Republicans and independants are being focussed on at a lower level? (recall Chrysler dealership rejections) at a lower level? Just kidding, the ‘fairness’ must be ‘beyond compare’. The selection criteria are secret, of course.

Note the software available for running a private bank:

Panama City, Panama (PRWEB) May 28, 2008 — NexorOne (www.nexorone.com) announced Friday that its banking platform will integrate with Eurowire (www.eurowire.cc), allowing customers to pass on international wire instructions and other customer orders directly from the software. Both NexorOne and Eurowire believe the refined system will help ease the process for private and offshore banks, as well as eliminate many instances of delays and human error....http://www.prweb.com/releases/eurowire/nexorone/prweb974654.htm

Offshore banking: http://www.escapeartist.com/Offshore_Banking/

http://www.offshore-protection.com/

There is heavier competition from offshore banks for illicit US money as has ever existed in spite of the UBS ‘threat’.
