So spread the word... the forward button is just a click away...

Subscription and advertising information for The Tax Freedom 101 Report is contained at the end of this on-line report.

If you are a fellowship member look for the announcement in the members' only printed newsletters Reasonable Action and The Liberty Tree which is sent out as part of the members assistance program.

The entire fellowship membership will be alerted to the service in less than six weeks. There is still a need to fill some of the Fellowship State Manager positions for the 'FRN' Service. What is a Fellowship State Manager? A FSM is someone who is assigned to manage the private domain we have created on the server to allow fellowship members to rendezvous and network within the state which they reside. A FSM accepts and assigns other fellowship members requesting access to FRNS the 'Usernames' and 'Passwords' to access the state web site. The web site contains other information and tools other than just member contact information. A FSM will also have the ability to customize and add whatever information they feel necessary to make the web site user friendly. The system is easy to use and is completely web based. Some states will require more than one FSM due to size and population, however there will be only one point manager assigned for each state.

If you wish to see what the page looks like where fellowship member's will find others login at The 'Member's Support' page at the Tax Freedom 101 Front Page. If you would like to volunteer to be a FSM there are details provided on the FRNS page.

NEWS:
- All That Glitters is Gold
CBS' Market Watch reporter and former metals trader Thom Calandra says, "Take this gold money and use it". This trader sees a boost for online gold payments.

What is an online gold payment you ask? Well if you are a long time subscriber to The Tax Freedom 101 Report you know about the trend in buying and selling with gold - electronic gold that is. We have accepted electronic gold payments for nearly four years now as payment for service. Convenience and monetary security of gold backed electronic currency is causing a rise of its use. James Turk proprietor of 'GoldMoney' puts it this way in the referenced news item:

"...Turk sees gold benefiting from a slow erosion of the almost-universal belief that national currencies such as the dollar, the yen and even the euro will carry the day in coming fiscal storms. 'What drives the gold price, probably more than anything, even war mongering, is the perception that a currency or a currency system will function well or not function well,' he said."

This news story below provides an excellent '101' overview about gold with regard to history, use, and its rediscovery in the digital age.

- Taxpayer Funded Boob Jobs
Boy that government job at the county level must be just flush with benefit 'perks' - perky breasts that is, or any other cosmetic surgery your friendly neighborhood bureaucrat may need. If you think that this kind of stuff is just found in Niagara County New York, think again. This story pops up routinely throughout the country.

State Sen. George D. Maziarz says: "They [county legislators] complain about paying their share for medical coverage for elderly people and kids, but I haven't heard too much about the liposuction and hair transplants," Maziarz said. "It's outrageous."

Yes it certainly is outrageous dear Senator.

INFORMATION:
- The Sum of All Socialists Fears
Okay, so we ripped-off a title from a recently released movie, and added the word - 'socialists'. The funny thing is that if the major plot line in the 'Sum of All Fears' did happen, and Baltimore was vaporized by a nuclear warhead it could be just as well titled... 'The Sum of All Socialists' Fears'. You see, that is where the largest wealth redistribution factory in the world sits, at 6401 Security Boulevard, in Baltimore. Better known as the Social Security Administration, it is famous for its rows of mid-rise office buildings that seem to stretch a mile down "Security' Blvd., and can be seen from a distance with lights beaming throughout the night while the monster spits out welfare/benefit checks to millions of Americans and foreigners alike. Ironically if events did occur the way Tom Clancy imagined, Security Boulevard would really take on a whole new meaning, wouldn't you say?

Just imagine the SSA engine being vaporized and your grandmother not getting her monthly 'benefit' check. Imagine the children, my-gawd the children, who would care for the children? Who would take care of all the ill, illegitimates, illegals, and idiots? I mean America's God would truly have been kicked in the crotch, and crippled for a time, or indefinitely. If a city had to be sacrificed before the government woke up to the chaos their paper money has caused throughout the world, I guess Baltimore wouldn't be the worse choice. Sorry Baltimore.

Now imagine all the red and pink bars vaporized from the bar graphs below in the article 'Where Does YOUR Money Go?'

[ Constitutional ] [The"Fed's" take][Voluntary payments accepted by citizens from govt.]
***************************************************************************************************
20% [The Ruling Elite][--------------------Socialism/Communism-------------------]

Summary: It is evident after you add up all the "Social Spending" programs as outlined in the Outlays chart that the totals are remarkable similar to the income derived from Social Security taxes, Medicare taxes, unemployment taxes, other retirement taxes, etc., and personal income taxes. Except that The Fed takes approximately 19% to line their own pockets before the final Outlays to fund Social Welfare programs occur. It is no wonder why the Legislative, Judicial, and Executive branches can fund multi-million dollar private retirement plans for themselves and immediate relatives. It certainly does pay the Ruling Elite to be at the top of the pyramid in a Ponzi scheme such as Social Security while at the same time isolating themselves from the requirements to be part of that federal insurance contributions act people recognize as FICA on their pay stubs. The token amount of 18 to 20% retrieved for Constitutional functions as shown in the blue and green bar graphs in the Income and Outlay charts shows that there is still a Constitutional Republic at work. It is just being choked to death by the voluntary Socialism/Communism that our citizens so eagerly line up to participate in.
