The 401k is a failed experiment. Taxes are the single greatest threat to retirement security. Governments are desperate to cash in when Baby Boomers pass on their wealth.

That's why we created Crashes & Taxes - a place for everyday wealth builders like you. Hosted by Rebecca Walser, Top 100 US Advisor, a Tax Attorney and Wealth Strategist.

Market Update: Job Cuts, Currency Turmoil, and the Hidden Truth About Interest Rates
Nov 6, 202400:21:30Tap to summarizeThere are so many things happening on the financial front that are being obfuscated by mainstream Wall Street news. As more things become unsettled and untethered, we're going to see pivotal changes in the economy. And no one is talking about it… From the constant revisions of jobs numbers, to the market's optimism about rates going down, there's a concerted effort to represent the economic situation in a more positive light than it actually is. But the latest trends are giving us a much needed reality check and reminding us that the market isn't as great as the mainstream media is presenting it. Asset bubbles are going to burst, AI is going to further impact jobs, and we still have a massive currency shift ahead of us. Despite what Wall Street is telling you, I believe we're already in a recession, and after the election, we'll start to get the true economic data. In this episode, I give you a market update and share the biggest concerns in the economy right now.
Transcribe →Japan's Carry Trade: The Crisis That Could Still Topple the Economy
Aug 21, 202400:36:34Tap to summarizeThe event that will finally prick and burst the global asset bubble can come from just about anywhere. The unwinding of Japan's precarious carry trade situation might just be the thing to push us over the edge. For decades, Japan's Central Bank has been funding itself by leveraging lower interest rates and paying money at short-term floating rates. The problem is, Japan has now been forced to raise some of their investments to a higher credit risk and a much higher probability of default. The fix could be more damaging than the original problem. We saw the market react to this and the jobs report in July. Wall Street wants you to think that the problem has already rectified itself but those were the rumblings of what's to come. Japan's carry trade situation is far from over, and it will impact the entire economy. Add to that, the US election, the threat of a massive internet disruption and a new pandemic, and you've got a recipe for major upheaval. Why is Japan's carry trade issue a huge warning sign to the whole world? Why should we brace ourselves for some volatility leading up to the US election? In this episode, I give a market update and share what to expect as we get closer to the 2024 Presidential election.

Transcribe →W.H.O.'s Sneaky Plan To Take Away Your Freedom Is Already Working
Jul 3, 202400:40:17Tap to summarizeIn 2020, The World Health Organization was able to augment its authority and encroach into the rights and medical autonomy of individuals. Now they have the ability (and permission) to dictate the health policy of whole nations. This is the beginning of global governance and the end of national sovereignty, and it will happen under the guise of a strengthening pandemic preparedness. At some point, it felt like WHO could be kept in check, but considering the recent changes, many countries are okay with this happening. Through the amendments to the International Health Regulations, WHO's ability to dictate medical protocols has never been more pronounced and that should concern us all. What does this mean for our medical autonomy? In this episode, I continue talking about the convergence of all things and today I share what's going on with The World Health Organization and why it's problematic.

Transcribe →The Global Realignment Isn't Just Economic, It's Biblical
Jun 25, 202400:44:12Tap to summarizeThe economic collapse of The West has been unfolding right in front of our eyes. Dollar hegemony is coming to an end. The various structures that underpin our financial systems are shaky, and we're teetering on the edge of a deep disruption. Look no further than the recent realignment of Saudi Arabia and other unprecedented shifts in the global economy. At the same time, we're seeing the rise of a new power - the BRICS block. This isn't just financial or even political, the major realignment we're seeing is potentially Biblical. Whatever you believe, you should be getting prepared for a reality unlike anything we've ever seen before. Why should we be paying attention to the moves being made by other nations? Why is The West so hell-bent on obfuscating what's really going on? In today's episode, I talk about the rise of a new global power, why it's just the beginning and the prophecies that predicted it all.

May 28, 202400:26:57Tap to summarizeWhen it comes to voting in an election, most Americans believe that there's no way aliens could be legally entitled to a vote. You would be mistaken if you see what's happening right now. What if the federal government is actually creating the legal framework for them to vote through something as seemingly innocuous as government assistance? Is this administration secretly adding millions of voters before November? Is there another pandemic on the horizon? In this episode I talk about some concerning issues around the 2024 elections, and how they'll add to this being a rocky year.

May 6, 202400:35:42Tap to summarizeDefer taxes in your highest earning years, pay them after retirement when you're making less and in a lower bracket. That's the conventional wisdom most Americans rely on and why most retirement savings are pre-tax. There's a glaring problem with this, though. In this episode, I share the reality of America's retirement and why we can't afford to rely on conventional wisdom anymore.

Transcribe →Dollar Death Spiral: Why Is the Rest of the World Buying So Much Gold Right Now?
Apr 15, 202400:39:09Tap to summarizeThe US Dollar has been a currency untethered from reality, and we were able to get away with it….until now. As the world continues to move to the East and reject the dollar, we're headed for an abrupt and excruciating end, and it's coming a lot sooner than many believe. Just like a new bridge, a new currency system is being built right before our eyes. We'll keep believing nothing's happening until the very end of the dollar, only to be cut-off abruptly. The way we've been running things is mathematically unsustainable, and the music's going to stop suddenly. We've hyper-inflated our equity markets, created precarious asset bubbles, continued to spend recklessly and accumulate debt, and we're now trapped. Whatever The Fed does, our currency system and the domination of the dollar will collapse. No matter how good the stock market's doing, remember it can perform well while the underlying currency system is collapsing. Why have the BRICS nations been scrambling for metals? Can The Fed get us out of this situation or is it far too late? In this episode, I share the bad news no one wants to talk about: the rapidly approaching end of the US dollar and currency system as we know it.

Apr 5, 202400:23:35Tap to summarizeIf you've been paying attention, you'll notice that there's been a steady stream of articles, cautions and warnings about solar flares, communications disruptions, and tech interruptions. Now that we have a solar eclipse on April 8, those announcements have kicked into high gear. Even though it's going to be a sun blackout for only a few minutes, there's reason to be concerned about what could happen. When you pull together seemingly disconnected data points, you'll realize NASA has been trying to tell us that something drastic could happen, and we should be prepared. What have they been trying to tell us this whole time? Why should we be concerned about it? In this episode, I talk about why solar event disruptions are something we need to start taking more seriously.

Transcribe →Are we DESTROYING our US Constitution through our interpretation of our Bill of Rights?
Mar 26, 202400:33:12Tap to summarizeAmerica isn't just dealing with strong financial and economic headwinds, we also have pivotal legal issues on our hands. Between the Biden administration ruling on EVs, and Murthy vs. Missouri, the very sanctity of our constitution and Bill of Rights is under threat. Executive agencies can't have carte blanche over consumers, taxpayers and businesses. The government can't decide which opinions it agrees with and which ones to shadow ban. We also can't shift who the second amendment applies to because of the immigration crisis. Slowly but surely, we're nullifying our constitution by changing how we interpret the law. These legal cases prove that we have a huge problem which could truly destroy the fact that our country is for the people, by the people. The first amendment should never be hamstrung, and the more we allow that, the more we descend into lawlessness. In this episode, I talk about 2 important legal updates that we need to be paying attention to.

Transcribe →You Might Not Want The Fed To Cut Rates After You See This
Mar 11, 202400:53:00Tap to summarizeLower interest rates are the economic "solution" many people have been hoping for, but it might actually trigger the very thing we're afraid of - total collapse. If you look closely at the state of banking, the last thing we need is an event that causes people to start pulling money out of banks. Banks are insolvent by design. Between the MASSIVE excessive deposits held, their shift from lending to buying short-term treasuries, and the economy's anemic growth since coronavirus, higher rates have held off the economic shift that is coming. However, once the Fed begins their rate cutting phase… we could engineer the very bank run that will undermine our solvency and trigger the end of the Fiat system. The unintentional consequences of lowering interest rates could include the toppling of our economy, so although we might want that as consumers, as Americans, we really don't. In this episode, I share MY economic theory that looks to be becoming more likely by the day… Work With Us If you're interested in working with us, use the link below to book a 15-minute intro call to see if we are a mutual fit.
