They're trumped-up charges you know.

Alexander Hamilton set up the Bank of New York so that the United States could borrow from our local bank instead of getting in debt to foreign banks, and so that we could pay interest to our own local bank and so we could tax our own local bank to help with Education, Healthcare, etc. The Bank of New York was the first company listed on the New York Stock Exchange. The Bank of New York is also the official Bank of the Nation of Israel.

There was a reason why enemies of freedom attacked New York, because New York is the Center of the Financial World for the USA. The World Trade Center was very important.

So right now as our credit is being attacked we need to protect the Bank of New York, and all of our Financial Network in New York, and we need to back our currency with Gold from Battle Mountain, Nevada, etc, and with Gold from Mexico, and with Gold from Colombia, etc. We need to back our money with Gold.

Israel backs their money with diamonds and the Bank of New York is their official Bank.

We need to back up the Financial Network in the USA with locally sourced Gold.

Salute,

Tony V.

Do not go gold bug Tony. It is just one element of many. There are some useful molecules out there for you to consider as well.

Last week mrs bambu and I were discussing world affairs while watching Sky News.
The topic of billions and trillions was mentioned.
I said "that's the problem for Americans and their debt at the moment...trillions of dollars".
She said: "don't worry, they'll just print some more"!

Ah yes..."the rich".
Define "rich".
Someone who started with nothing, studied economics at university, graduated, then went to work for a car company in their head office....learning about the auto industry?
Later being approved for a dealership.
Ran that successfuly while still young.
From there buying struggling dealerships of different auto brands and majing them successful too?
Then doing fhe same thing globally...business acumen.
Also doing the same thing with pubs and clubs.
Look at how many people employed in his successful businesses.

In your haste to "tax the rich" you need to be careful you don't kill off incentive.
So called "rich people" often employ "poor people".
We have a rich man in bambuworld.
He builds apartment complexes, hotels...ones that stay up, because they're built properly. He employs many people in the construction industry

My Grandmother worked for the Gold mines in Battle Mountain, Nevada, and then she went to Mexico and she spent 20 years opening Gold mines in Mexico. And I had a waitress in Battle Mountain at the Colt Casino where I worked who was the daughter of the Vice President of the Bank of New York. The Banks need to back everything up with Gold.

And my wealthiest friend was a Christian woman from the Philippines who spent her life helping the homeless people here in California. Her first Business here in California was a night club in Los Angeles named "Manila Gardens" and her club was very successful. She opened many businesses here and she gave all of her money away doing charity work for the homeless.

Salute,

Tony V.

No one would ever make a plan to be successful and then work hard at it if in the end they though they might have to pay some taxes.

The kind of poverty you live in, Bambi, cannot be fixed with money.

It is important to dress up nice and to go spend a Saturday night celebrating life with the rich people, even if you are not rich. My Mother was a hair dresser with her own beauty shop and a couple of houses that she rented out, and my Father worked for the Los Angeles County Road Department, and my Mother always made my Father take her out to someplace nice to eat on a Saturday night, and they would go dancing, and they would go out to see movies, and they would always get out and have fun on the Saturday nights. My Mother always fit in well with the rich people, and she did the hair for all of the rich ladies, and every Saturday night my Mother and Father went out to celebrate life with the well to do people in the community.

And then years later for instance, my Mother and her then husband spent the day having cocktails with Mel Brooks and Anne Bancroft at the Pieces of Eight in Marina Del Rey, that is a great thing about California is that so many great people have lived here over the years, and it is nice.

There is no reason for the rich and poor to be separate, you have to be able to dress up and walk with Kings, while at the same time you need to keep the common touch.

I need to be able to take a date to the best restaurants without worry, that is the way my Mother raised me, I can go have cocktails and sushi with the rich people and not have any problems.

Salute,

Tony V.

If the rich paid their taxes they would not spend so much on gates or live in such perpetual fear of working people.

Trump is a fool to want to build a wall between the USA and Mexico instead of working together as a team to reap our shared rewards.

My Grandmother spent 20 years opening Gold mines in Mexico, and that can be to our benefit as we work to back up our financial system with Gold. All of her work was a waste of time if we just build a wall, instead we should tear down the wall and Biden and Harris should send an envoy to Mexico on a mission to improve relations and trade between the USA and Mexico and to work together on issues such as Drug Cartels and Poverty and Refugees, etc.

Christians can rule in Mexico instead of drug cartels. The good people can rule in Mexico instead of letting a few bad apples rule.

And we need to all be equal in America with equal rights.

We can also invest in the ports in Mexico, and we can allow the Mexican truckers to join the Teamsters Union, etc.

And we can send food and wine to China, etc, as we participate in world trade. Sending California wine, and California cheese, and cotto salami from California, and Sunkist orange juice, and organic mustard, etc, etc, etc, to China will help with world peace.

We also need to make sure that we keep New York strong and that we protect our Financial System, including protecting the Bank of New York.

Salute,

Tony V.

Bambu, the people from the Philippines are not white, but they are our best allies in the world, you cannot judge people by the color of their skin, the people from the Philippines are good Christians who help the homeless here in California.

And I love the Italians, and the French, and the Spaniards, and the Greeks, the Mediterranean people are beautiful, and those people built the foundation for the USA and for most of modern western civilization.

We spit out England, and we fought against England twice, once for our independence and again during the War of 1812. And Canada burned down our White House during the War of 1812. Just because the British and the Canadians are white does not mean that they are our friends. We need to strive to be friendly with the British, and we need to work together to support Ukraine, etc. But, I support Ireland, Spain, and Argentina against England. I have not always agreed with England. But, we need to be allies now, just like with the Germans and the Japanese.

China has always been on our team, and Chinese immigrants helped to build our railroads. We need to have peace with China, and we need to send good California wine and cheese and stuff to China as we participate in world trade.

Salute,

Tony V.
