Preventing Your Government From Stealing Your Gold

 

In such an economic "war," we must use every means at our disposal to repel their various acts of economic "warfare" -- including the habitual abuse of our tax systems, as the principal means of stealing-from-the-poor to give-to-the-rich. For those who choose to question the "legality" of tactics, we can simply observe that our "legal" systems have already been perverted past the point of tolerance - for any supposedly "just" and "democratic" society.

I offer precious metals holders a strategy to legally avoid the unjust theft by our governments of their bullion. Should our governments pervert our tax code still further, in order to make such a strategy "illegal," then it's time to start the next "revolution."

Jeff Nielson studied economics for four years at the University of British Columbia, before going on to attain a law degree from that same institution in 1989. He came to the precious metals sector around the middle of last decade as an investor, but quickly decided this was where he wanted to focus his career. After publishing his own, amateur blog for a year, in 2008 he founded Bullion Bulls Canada: a web-site providing information and analysis to precious metals investors. Today, bullionbullscanada.com reaches a global audience of precious metals investors in more than 120 countries.
