Thanks, yes I should have had a brief description.

That in the increasingly uncertain global financial circumstances, Australians are very concerned about the impacts on the Commonwealth of Australia and the counter-party risks associated with holding national assets in financially distressed countries like the UK that have an increasingly negative credit rating outlook. We are concerned that the progressively loose monetary policies of foreign Central Banks, such as Zero Interest Rate Policies and Quantitative Easing are debasing their national currencies and are:
1) Impacting the Australian economy by raising the comparative value of our currency and reducing the international competitiveness of our export industries and labour markets;
2) Undermining the basis of trust in the international currency regime that has been the historic hallmark of the affluence of developed economies since the Second World War, while growing international tensions;
3) Increasingly seeing developing nations seeking to protect the wealth realised in their development by diversifying their foreign currency reserves through gold accumulation initiatives of their central banks. These countries are reported to include China, Russia, India, South Korea, Thailand, Mexico, Brazil, Paraguay, Columbia, Argentina and Azerbaijan;
4) Forcing prudent nations, of both mature and emerging economies, to repatriate their national gold reserves from the historical financial centres of London and New York back to their own soil in increasing numbers. Countries reported to have or are undertaking such repatriation efforts include Germany, Venezuela, Ecuador, Mexico, Romania, Azerbaijan, Libya and Iran;
5) Causing citizens of nations around the world to become sufficiently concerned over the potential impacts to petition their governments to audit and account for their gold reserves. Countries with such initiatives include USA, Netherlands, Switzerland and Australia;
6) Seeing international investment strategies hedging the risk of devaluing global currencies by investing in agricultural and industrial commodities, precious metals and other tangible assets that push inflationary effects into the real economy; and
7) Increasing the likelihood that a currency crisis will re-establish the role of gold as a monetary asset in the global financial system against which other currencies will be valued.

What we are trying to do.
a) Reinstate gold as a reserve asset for the Australian banking system;
b) Repatriate its gold reserves from London back to Australia to be held on Australian soil; and
c) Begin an ongoing program of accumulating gold reserves, considering the efficiency of collecting taxes payable from precious metal mining companies in the refined metals they extract as a means of continually adding to those reserves.

I can see it, Can't get to it though

This sounds like some tinfoil-hattery.

:crackup:

OP: all we want in the States is for our money to remain in our pockets where it belongs as well. We are in a HUGE financial crisis here. Give us some gold XD

Yup, taxes are going to seriously HURT in the coming years.

Supreme court ruled Obamacare is in fact a TAX... IRS estimates it to cost 20k for a four person family, translation - 6-10k for the lowest tiered healthcare option. If you don't get it, you get a nice penalty of ~2-3k a year, per person.

Bottom line is, it's not the 1% that are the problem. It's the .00001% and unfortunately they do completely control washington, including the would be constitutional scholar who took an oath to uphold the constitution, but is now doing his best to dismantle it.

Thanks Obozo.

A year ago i know it was ~130-150k per person.
It wouldn't surprise me if it were up to 200k cause <redacted quoted racist comment> in office.
And now they are taking more taxes from us poor folks this year.

It's freaking Ridiculous with a capital R.

First, way to go racism!

Second, the FICA taxes this year were simply restored to normal levels after a 2-year "tax holiday". Funny, everyone is complaining now, but nobody seems to remember when their taxes magically went down 2 years ago. It was a TEMPORARY tax holiday to help the economy, which is no longer needed, especially in light of the fact that SS ran a deficit for the 3rd time in a row last year and that money you're talking about is FICA.

Third, the US national debt per person is current around $52,500, so you're just Ridiculously wrong, with a capital R. And that's not even counting the fact that "national debt per person" is a completely arbitrary and asinine metric, which measures absolutely nothing.

Now it's late and you have school tomorrow. Off to bed with you, so the adults can take care of the real issues.

Heh, I couldn't care less about race personally. Was just looking for an insulting term.

I have no problem with "Obozo" (I don't see you using any worse names?), call people clowns all you want. I'm not sure it does much to strengthen your arguments, but that's up to you.

But I have absolutely zero respect or patience for people who bring racism into things like this. Insult the guy's policies all you want, but check your prejudice at the door.

I would also prefer that people actually be informed about the issues before spouting off, but that's quite often too much to ask on the internet.

@Daguin - You make a good point. Obozo really doesn't fit. Considering he is betraying his oath, I should have gone with Benedict Arnold instead.

@pullbangdead - People informed on the internet? LOL. When pigs fly maybe.

Still, you don't need to be an economist to realize that we are in fact still in a recession, and the job market has not come anywhere near rebounding. At the same time, the stock market is doing just fine though.

I called my bank to complain about their poor response times, their lackluster services, their overall shady way of doing things. Well, as expected I had to wait for the robot to spout all the "Press _ for _____" choices. One of the main choices: "To send money to Mexico, Press 4."

I'm taking my money out of there this week.

It's supposed to be the Bank of America, not the Bank of Mexico.
