Taxing Internet sales

I think we'll see a pile of Internet companies moving across the border to Niagara, Toronto and Vancouver. UPS,FEDEX and DHL all deliver across the border and the U.S. law cannot touch them there.

As currently written, it would be to the taxing authority of the customer.
I think we will see a lot of Internet businesses move across the border to Canada (whose economy is booming, by the way). UPS, FEDEX an DHL all ship from Canada for only slightly more than they do from the U.S. and all have a major presence in Canada. Canada has only a national sales tax that is flat regardless of province or territory. Locate the business in Toronto, Windsor, Vancouver or even Niagara and it will be immune American laws and nonsense. The Canadian dollar is on par with the American except for most of the past year it has been worth more than the American dollar.
Unfortunately, they are less likely to knock on doors than to knock down doors.

The Great Gold Redemption

Excellent observation -- "Gold and silver do not increase in value, dollars decrease in value. " One of the main problems is that gold (as bullion or coins) have disappeared. Swiss banks are refusing to return the metal which had been deposited in their banks, paying off depositors in Euros instead. A dozen countries that had deposited their gold with the United States, are now demanding their gold back...the U.S. is stalling. The gold deposits no longer exist, but have been scooped up by banksters and the powerful elite. Fort Knox is empty and the gold that had been stored there was spirited away years ago.

What the article fails to bring out, is that the government plans to confiscate the funds over their arbitrary maximum. Welcome to Cypress, N.Y.!
Paul: You really need to do your research BEFORE you concoct an inflammatory article such as this. I am NOT an environmentalist or a leftist (I am a registered Libertarian). I am an American currently living in Canada. I have no idea where you manufactured your "60% of Canadians favour Keystone" figure, but if you would simply have read the Toronto Globe and Mail or the Toronto Star or even watched the CBC news for the past year, you'll soon discover that your numbers are reversed. Over 60% of Canadians outside of Alberta are totally against the project. In fact, they are currently blocking the expansion of "line 9" that was planned to run through Ontario.

Is There a Shortage of Physical Gold?

I meant to mention that there is a little known law (or maybe it's just an executive order) that allows any DHS agent to walk into any bank and demand that they open safe deposit boxes. Theoretically to prevent the funding of terrorists, but in actuality, so that they can confiscate (i.e., steal) any contents they find.

If you have any gold in coins or bullion, DO NOT STORE IT IN THE BANK!!! There was a story yesterday where the Swiss banks are refusing to give gold back to their depositors as part of the new EU rules. The suspicion is that THERE IS NO MORE GOLD. It is being hoarded privately. Fort Knox is no longer the U.S. repository for America's deposits and the Russians and Saudis are demanding theirs back. Coming soon, gold confiscations by the government A LA the 1930's.
