Why does
every election bring renewed focus on the taxes paid by the rich? Simple: while
those American who declare $500,000 and above in income represent less than 1%
of total tax returns, they account for a quarter of taxable income and - more
importantly - are responsible for 37% of government revenues collected through
individual income taxes.

The market
moves since the US elections have been both big and surprising, and as JPMorgan
notes, fund managers have been either too slow or too reluctant to jump into
the Trump trade. However, algo-based Risk-Parity funds suffered the most with
their biggest loss since Dec 2015 as market
'fear' tumbles to 9 month lows (and stocks are the most overbought in 13 years).

Much of the
recent optimism seems to stem from a the belief that the new administration
will be able to dramatically (and immediately) increase economic growth. The problem is that the US and global
economy continue to face major structural issues that seem to be beyond the
control of any politician. Increasingly, it is feeling like we are in a
“buy the rumor, sell the news” kind of market.

So where
will mobile capital flow in an environment of rising socio-political risk, a multi-year USD uptrend and a dearth of
safe, liquid markets?

Trumpism is a crisis for the most prestigious
methods of understanding economic and social life, ennobled and enthroned by the metropolitan academy of the last
third of a century. It has caused
mainstream ‘social science’ to fall like a house of cards.

"Today, the world marks the passing of a
brutal dictator who oppressed his own people for nearly six decades. Fidel
Castro’s legacy is one of firing squads, theft, unimaginable suffering, poverty
and the denial of fundamental human rights."

America responded to Trump’s call for a new
nationalism rooted in the economic
principles and patriotism of Hamilton and the men of Mount Rushmore:
Washington, Lincoln, Jefferson and Theodore Roosevelt. The president-elect has
declared the TPP dead, and says he and his negotiators will walk away rather
than accept another NAFTA. Again, good, but again, not good enough, not
nearly...The New International
Economic Order imposed upon us for decades has to be overthrown.

"Does she support what war goddess, racketeer,
perjurer Hillary stands for? Does
she oppose Trump wanting normalized relations with Russia - crucial to prevent
the threat of possible nuclear war with Hillary empowered as US military
commander-in-chief... I supported Stein,
believed in her, wrote glowing articles about her campaign, her advocacy
for world peace, equity and justice. Was I wrong? Did I misjudge her? Is she
against what she claims to stand for?"

"This is a scam by the Green Party for
an election that has already been conceded, and the results of this election
should be respected instead of being challenged and abused, which is
exactly what Jill Stein is doing...This recount is just a way for Jill
Stein...to fill her coffers with money..."

A remarkably
diverse array of “explanations”
of Donald Trump’s presidential election victory have been aired, representing
both the conventional political
spectrum and well beyond...

China has unveiled plans to impose "capital

slow a surge in capital fleeing offshore amid tepid growth and an uncertain
economic outlook.

According to Reuters,
earlier today Iran's Defense Minister said that the country plans to purchase
Russian Sukhoi Su-30 fighter planes to modernise its air force. More troubling
to the US, the Iranian minister also threatened that Tehran might again allow
Russia to use an Iranian air base for its operations in Syria.

I was amused to find my site listed on the now-infamous list of
purportedly Russian-controlled propaganda sites cited by The Washington Post. I find it amusing because I invite
anyone to search my 3,600-page archive of published material over the past
decade (which includes some guest posts and poems) and identify a single
pro-Russia or pro-Russian foreign policy entry.
If anything,
my perspective is pro-US dollar, pro-liberty, pro-open markets, pro-local
control, pro-free-press, pro-innovation, and pro-opportunities to rebuild
America’s abandoned, decaying localized economies: in other words, the exact
opposite of Russian propaganda.
My “crime” is a simple one: challenging the ruling elite’s
narrative.
Labeling all dissent “enemy propaganda” is of course the classic first phase
of state-sponsored propaganda and the favorite tool of well-paid illiberal apologists for
an illiberal regime.
Labeling everyone who dissents or questions the ruling elite’s
narrative as tools of an enemy power is classic McCarthy-era witch-hunting, i.e. a broad-brush way of
marginalizing and silencing critics with an accusation that is easy to
fabricate but difficult to prove.
Such unsupported slander is a classic propaganda technique. It has more in common with Nazi propaganda than with
real journalism.
The real useful-idiot shills are the editors and hacks paid by the
Washington Post, who are busy penning articles such as “Why the electoral
college should choose Hillary Clinton”. Isn’t this fundamentally a call to over-ride the Constitutional framework
of the republic’s democracy?

[[Nos equivocamos: este billonario carece de sentido histórico
y mínima decencia política. Su racismo anti-latino solo creará problemas
internos y en las Américas. NO debe ser Presid. Lo que acaba de decir es un
insulto grave a la dignidad Latina. Eso si es hecho contundente que invalida su
aspiración a liderar nuestra hermosa Nación. Hoy evidenció ser un real fraude. El
Colegio Electoral no debe cometer el error de validarlo como Presidente.
Estamos frente a un abismo y un paso más –que seguro él lo dará- y caemos todos
al abismo. EVITEMOSLO ¡ La unica forma
de evitarlo es CONVOCAR NUEVAS ELECCIONES, sin Trump ni la Clinton pues estos ya
antes eran ilegales (uno por no pagar impuestos y el otro por obstruir la
justicia).]]
