FED to confiscate gold through massive tax in the future?


Given that the price of gold is roughly $1,000 an ounce, it goes to show that governments are not bigger than the market, and that such manipulation (even if it does still exist) can never work in the long run.

The fear should not be of government to government agreements that can never work in practice, but rather a fear that governments may tax gold sales profits at some phenomenal rate, thereby effectively confiscating gold a second time. LINK

  1. Not sure what you mean by phenomenal rate, but capital gains associated with gold sales would be taxed at 28%. That's one of the downsides of direct investment in precious metals.

  2. Yup, but the article says the tax would be unreal! Of course, it'll probably be gradual, but consider this - if things get bad, imagine the things we haven't thought of yet!!! It makes, or should make one think, of any and every available resource to have close by, just to function. And, when one considers the very dangerous possibilities associated with any widened war fronts, well, that'd just be trouble we don't want to think about. Patterns in history have reflected as muc - and, that scares me, really.
