Mark J. Quann, author of Be Smart Pay Zero Taxes: Use the Buy, Borrow, Die Strategy to Get Rich and Stay Rich, is a financial expert and author of the #1 tax book. The Perfect Portfolio is his financial education company, which helps ordinary Americans build wealth using the Buy Borrow Die strategy.”

Mark and I talk about Financial Literacy, and how it has been removed from our educational system, to the detriment of all, except the Wall Street Bankers and Big Corporations who want us to remain in the spiral of Study, Work, Save, Die...they don't want us to be financially educated, as that cuts into their enormous profits.

Basically, we "invest" at modest percentage rates of return, but they use our money to make 3, 4, maybe more times what they pay us to use OUR money.

Mark teaches how the average person can change that equation.

We also touch upon the Fraud that is costing us hundreds of Billions in Tax Dollars, and why such fraud has been so successful (hint Corruption, Graft, Kickbacks...). We also touch upon how government and Banks keep us from achieving true financial independence.

We talk about government Waste, Fraud, Abuse, and the ridiculous, wasteful, inflationary Budgeting Rules our government operates on, Not just Federally, but at ALL levels of government.

We then go back into Mark's Financial expertise, and how Mark's company works with people of all ages - his youngest student started learning about finance and investing at age 9, and his oldest student is 95. His target audience for his books and courses are the average person, although people who do have large sums of money also use and benefit from his advice and teachings.

An informative and educational episode, if I do say so myself.
