June 24, 2022 06:00 - 30 minutes - 42.9 MB

With every news report that comes out, it seems like every area of our society is in crisis. Lake Powell and Lake Mead are experiencing historically low levels, a few days ago thousands of flights were canceled, and we’re now hearing about avian flu and cattle deaths.    Pile onto that, the ongoing supply chain issues, the run on Chinese banks, and an economy edging toward recession - it’s clear that something’s not quite right and that it’s all connected.   In today’s episode, I’m g...

Are we nearing the end of American prosperity?

June 10, 2022 06:00 - 26 minutes - 37 MB

In a recent Twitter thread internet entrepreneur and political activist, KimDotcom laid out why the US is on the precipice of a huge financial and cultural shift (KimDotCom Twitter Thread).    Many of the defining factors have been growing slowly beneath the surface, but will soon expand and become blatantly clear to every American.    With the US government actions that have defined all our lives since 2020, we are now moving towards a new system - a terrifying, dystopian system tha...

The Final Countdown? Why the End of Our National Sovereignty is Closer Than We Think

May 19, 2022 06:00 - 33 minutes - 46.5 MB

The World Health Assembly is planning to launch a process to amend the global health regulations, essentially handing over national sovereignty and authority to the WHO.    This vote will come under the guise of our benefit, but it’s actually the end of autonomy as we know it and the beginning of technocratic control. If you think what’s happening with China’s zero covid policy will never happen here - think again! Will this issue only affect healthcare? What is the ultimate purpose of...

April 28, 2022 06:00 - 25 minutes - 34.9 MB

One of the most alarming truths about America is how ill-prepared most people are for retirement.    Besides the fact that we aren’t saving enough - there are also major systemic flaws in the way we build wealth for the future.    A lot of our issues stem from a poor foundational understanding of how to manage and utilize our money.    What are the 3 root causes of our $22 trillion retirement gap? In this episode, I’m going to talk about what’s wrong with America’s retirement pra...

Taxing the Rich is an Inherently Flawed Concept: The Truth About Elon Musk’s Tax Bill

April 21, 2022 06:00 - 21 minutes - 30.4 MB

Following our recent episode on Elon Musk, we received a number of comments about his tax bill and the fact that he should be paying more. The real question we should be asking is whether this approach to taxation is fair to the entrepreneurs who maintain almost all of the financial risk?    Between the state of California and the federal government, Elon Musk paid over 50% in taxes. Taxing the rich has always been viewed as the solution to our problems, but does it still make sense?  ...

Elon Musk Becomes Twitter’s Largest Shareholder: What's His Larger Plan and Purpose?

April 14, 2022 06:00 - 23 minutes - 32.1 MB

Since the recording of this episode, Elon Musk has decided to not join the Board. Rebecca views this as a more strategic move on Elon’s behalf as now he will not be limited to owning a maximum of 14.9% of outstanding Twitter shares and limited by acting as a fiduciary to the company which means he would be prohibited from sharing any proprietary information regarding Twitter’s algorithm.   This basically sets up Musk for a potential hostile takeover of Twitter where he doesn’t have to pl...

The Dollar’s in Danger & We’re to Blame: The Unintended & Catastrophic Consequences of America’s Reaction

April 05, 2022 06:00 - 28 minutes - 39.7 MB

Our short-sighted actions over the situation in Ukraine could have the unintended consequence of destabilizing the West and setting off a huge financial crisis. In trying to curtail Putin’s aggression, we might have just placed the US dollar in the most precarious state it has ever been in, with the markets sure to feel the effects.   The market’s already volatile, and this is even before we talk about the escalation into a possible regional war. How did the West’s response to Putin lead...

From War to Shortages: 5 Unprecedented Global Events Converging On the Economy & Why We're Already Feeling Their Effects

March 24, 2022 06:00 - 25 minutes - 35.6 MB

War, inflation, pandemics, energy supply issues, and food shortages on their own are enough to destabilize any economy, but what happens when they all converge?     As it stands, there are numerous globally unprecedented events taking place, creating market conditions we’ve never before encountered, and creating new challenges we have to address if we want to protect our wealth.    What factors and circumstances are the most concerning? How is the geopolitical situation adding fuel t...

The Most Significant Monetary Development Since WW2 is Happening at the Worst Time: What Does it Mean for America?

March 10, 2022 07:00 - 26 minutes - 36.4 MB

On this show, we’ve talked about all the significant fiscal and political forces that will disgorge the way business is done globally - including the end of the US Dollar’s World Reserve currency status, and pressures on the energy supply.    It’s easy to think that these major financial events are still years away, but the truth is, these tectonic shifts are closer than we think. What’s happening in Ukraine is a harsh reminder that politics and money are intrinsically linked, and a prec...

February 25, 2022 07:00 - 32 minutes - 45.6 MB

With everything happening between Russia and Ukraine, it’s safe to say that it’s been an interesting week. This situation is adding gasoline onto an already raging economic fire that could contribute to a significant market event.    The global pandemic still isn’t resolved. Shortages are putting immense pressure on the global supply chain, and the government is trying to deal with the repercussions of overstimulating the economy in a very detrimental way.    On top of all this, we’v...

US Dollar Dominance Under Threat? The Unintended Consequences of Alternative Digital Currencies & How They Will Impact America

February 17, 2022 07:00 - 30 minutes - 43 MB

If you listen to mainstream media sources and other high-level institutions and individuals, the rise of digital currencies is nothing but good and promising news, but that’s not the whole story.   Every disruption has unintended consequences, and if they aren’t considered, discussed, and analyzed honestly, we might sign up for something that will do more harm than good.   What will digital currency do to dollar hegemony? How will these changes upend our entire banking system? In thi...

February 03, 2022 07:00 - 25 minutes - 35.5 MB

The market has gone through the worst January since the Global Financial Crisis. There’s so much going on in the economy and the wider world that is contributing to the sustained volatility we’re experiencing.   These are some of the most serious headwinds we’ve encountered historically, and the unprecedented confluence of policy, geopolitics, economics, rate hikes, and supply chain issues mean we have to brace for a significant market event.    What’s actually driving what we’re see...

Is the Stock Market All Smoke & Mirrors: Here's How to See Through Media Manipulation, Peel Back the Curtain & Get the Truth

January 14, 2022 07:00 - 23 minutes - 32.9 MB

Traditionally and historically, the stock market has always been a good barometer for the economy, but that hasn’t been the reality in the modern era.    Even today, the stock market is on a steady incline, and in great shape - seemingly nothing to see here, right? Unfortunately, no. In reality, the economic fundamentals do not match this optimistic trajectory.    Even though the irrationality of the market going up continues to rule the day, we have to be aware that we’re truly in f...

America's Division is Our Defeat: Why We to Need Fight Against a Two-Class Society & Unite in the Name of Freedom

January 06, 2022 07:00 - 22 minutes - 31.8 MB

Between covid, vaccines and the economic catastrophe we’re currently living through - it’s clear that the American government isn’t just out to confuse us and take our freedom in the name of so-called safety.    There’s also a concerted effort to divide us, primarily on medical fronts. America cannot and should not ever return to being a two-class society, but unfortunately we are, unless we do something about it.   How do we maintain our hope, faith and strength as we head into what...

Disintegration of Freedom by Stealth: The Bigger, Darker Agenda Behind Build Back Better & Why Americans Have to Wake Up NOW

December 30, 2021 07:00 - 22 minutes - 30.6 MB

America has come a long way to win freedom, but recently, we have disintegrated and deteriorated backward, and nowhere is this more evident than in this administration's irresponsible fiscal agenda.   Here’s the truth: we now have a one-party system that believes that you can print as much currency as you can without any impact on the American economy. There’s a bigger agenda behind Build Back Better, and Americans need to wake up before it’s too late and our freedoms disappear entirely....

December 16, 2021 07:00 - 16 minutes - 23.2 MB

In this episode, I share five end of year tax strategies we can leverage right now, and how to execute them.

China’s Meteoric Rise & America’s Self-Inflicted Decline: What the CCP Really Plans for the World’s Economy

December 10, 2021 07:00 - 24 minutes - 33.5 MB

China’s rise to economic powerhouse and plan for global domination foreshadows a greater decline for America. The truth is, China is only getting started, and America is making it easy.    As part of my executive MBA, I got to hear directly from a Chinese official how China perceives itself, how it views America, and what the country is planning to do to extend and grow its global influence.   What he shared was not only telling, but also very concerning for America.    China bel...

Protect The Cocoon: The Financial Principles That Build Generational Wealth

November 04, 2021 06:00 - 5 minutes - 8.43 MB

As parents, it’s natural to want to give your children everything financially, but time and time again, we’ve seen that go wrong.   When you overbless your children, it takes away their natural initiative to make something of themselves, so from a tax planning perspective, how do you avoid this?    In this episode, I’m joined by Crashes & Taxes producer, Matt Johnson, to share an important personal consideration you have to make in your estate planning.

The Government is Using the National Debt to Steal Your Freedom...Here’s How to Fight Back

October 28, 2021 06:00 - 30 minutes - 42.5 MB

With the US national debt fast approaching a staggering $30 trillion, Americans should brace themselves for an unprecedented financial crisis, which will affect ALL of us.    Between the unbridled government stimulus of the last 18 months, Baby Boomer retirement, and a massive decline in the relevance of the US dollar, we’re all in for a rude awakening.    What are the practical effects of the national debt on the lives of everyday Americans? How can we take our rightful freedoms bac...

Automatic Audits For All Every Year - How Big Government Plans To Watch Your Every Move

October 07, 2021 06:00 - 29 minutes - 40.7 MB

Communism begins with socialism, and when seemingly well-intentioned government forces start merging political thought with economic policy, that marks the end of freedom as we know it.    That’s exactly what’s happening in America right now.    Is America slowly morphing into a communist state? Why are we closer to financial surveillance than we think? In this episode, I talk about the concerning actions the Biden administration is taking and why they are leaning more socialist.

America Is Turning Into Europe & We Just Don’t Know It Yet: The Grim Future of Tax

September 02, 2021 06:00 - 21 minutes - 29.5 MB

“President Biden’s tax plans might soon make Europe look like a capitalist heaven by comparison. He wants to raise the long-term capital-gains tax from just below 24% to above 43%.”   These words, from a recent Wall Street Journal article ring very true, and are also very concerning as stimulus continues and the government attempts to pass nearly $5 TRILLION dollars in infrastructure spending.    America is on the verge of ushering in the largest tax on investment income in the worl...

Job Openings Surge to 10 Million: The Current State of Jobs & Its Role in Market Volatility

August 26, 2021 06:00 - 18 minutes - 25.6 MB

As of August 2021, one of the biggest factors driving market volatility is the lack of people in the workforce. With 10 million job openings, and people choosing stimulus payments over work, we have to understand the impact on the broader economy.    Right now, millions of people aren’t contributing to economic activity, paying payroll taxes, or contributing to the GDP, and this is a problem.    This, coinciding with the en masse retirement of the Baby Boomers, will upset the tax app...

Why Rampant Government Spending Is A Prelude To Tax Enslavement & A Threat To The Future Of America

July 16, 2021 19:45 - 21 minutes - 29.8 MB

Hot on the heels of the coronavirus stimulus, the Biden Administration is now trying to pass another $3.5 trillion for infrastructure. If passed, that would add to upwards of $12 trillion of government spending in the last 15 months.  This is an alarming tipping point for this country. Increased government spending is only going to make our National Debt obligations more perilous, and create a generational tax burden we may never recover from.  In this episode, I’m going to discuss the m...

Mid-Year Market Outlook: Volatility, Inflation & Why the Year Could End on a High Note

July 01, 2021 06:00 - 18 minutes - 25.9 MB

The S&P 500 is a broad benchmark of the economy, and the numbers provide an interesting perspective on what we should be paying attention to. What factors are going to have an impact on the market in the second half of 2021?    Let’s be frank - volatility will still be a concern, but it’s not all bad news. Towards the end of the year, we’re going to see some upside and the onset of the 4th Industrial Revolution.    What can we glean from past market cycles? What factors are going to ...

Is The Fed Hiding Something...We Talk Money Supply Data & The Fed’s Alarming Shift In Focus

June 24, 2021 06:00 - 18 minutes - 25.9 MB

Between the recent FOMC statement, the end of weekly M1 and M2 reports, and a more political agenda, it’s clear that the Federal Reserve has shifted significantly from its original mandate.    This represents a sea change in the philosophy behind our monetary policy, and we really have to ask ourselves where this is headed. What can we glean from the FOMC statement as investors? Why are the recent developments in the Federal Reserve so alarming? In this episode, I go over the Federal R...

The Boom Before the Bust? Why BlackRock Buying Homes Is a Troubling Trend for the US Economy

June 17, 2021 06:00 - 17 minutes - 24.9 MB

The 2008 crash and Great Recession were preceded by a dizzying mortgage frenzy that ultimately sent America, and in turn, the global economy, into freefall.    What happened before is now happening again.    Big private equity and investment groups like Blackrock are buying up entire neighborhoods, and this could lead to some market volatility between now and the end of this year. A mortgage boom propped up by artificially low-interest rates is just not sustainable. As investors, w...

Cyber Attacks: How to Take Action Against This New Economic Threat On America & Protect Our Industries

June 10, 2021 06:00 - 17 minutes - 24.2 MB

Since the Biden Administration took office, two important industries have suffered crippling cyber attacks. This could be the start of a terrifying trend that will undoubtedly affect the entire economy.    Cyber attacks aren’t just egregious hacks on private companies. They are acts of war on the wealth, institutions, and ultimately, the people of America.    What we’ve seen so far from the government in response isn’t good enough.    How are our markets and financial systems goi...

June 03, 2021 06:00 - 16 minutes - 23.7 MB

With the economic pressure America is facing, getting your financial house in order is a critical step to preserving your wealth.    Neglecting even the most mundane details about your assets could cause major complications, and that’s something your financial advisor should be helping you with.    A stack of statements and reports from financial software is not a financial plan. What should you be getting from your advisor? The massive changes in the American dollar’s global positio...

What Does Biden’s End of Step-Up at Death Mean for Your Wealth?

May 13, 2021 06:00 - 12 minutes - 17.6 MB

The current administration is eliminating the step-up at death provision in estate planning. This decision marks a significant departure from the way estate planning has worked for decades, and it is a huge shift that will impact millions of trusts.    This is not a coincidence, it’s part of the government’s plan to grab more wealth.    Why is this happening now, and how will it change wealth transfer as we know it?  In this episode, I share the big shift coming to estate planning, ...

Biden’s Tax Policy: A Punitive Strategy...Putting America Into Troubled Waters

May 06, 2021 20:25 - 20 minutes - 27.5 MB

The Biden administration is planning to install significant tax policy changes in income tax, corporate tax, and capital gains tax.  These changes will definitely have a damaging and detrimental effect, and force investors and corporations to take extreme measures - measures that work against the US economy.  This will put America at a huge disadvantage. What are the consequences of a tax policy that penalizes investors and corporations?  In this episode, I talk about the 3 tax polic...

Are Employer Retirement Vehicles a Threat to Your Future Wealth?

April 22, 2021 17:08 - 29 minutes - 40.4 MB

Retirement vehicles like the 401k are the perfect example of financial plans that don’t serve investors who want to be in control of their wealth.  They are captive in nature, they force us into an unfavorable partnership with the government, and their pre-tax status should make us very nervous. How do we navigate employer retirement tools and use them to our advantage?  In today’s episode of Crashes and Taxes, we zoom in on a heavily misunderstood retirement vehicle, take a deep dive ...

Bitcoin Goes Mainstream: Why It’s Not All Good News

April 15, 2021 06:00 - 27 minutes - 37.2 MB

The Bitcoin phenomenon has gained a massive presence in the mainstream market, and while it’s a great investment right now, there’s more to the story.    Cryptocurrency is a double-edged sword. The features that make it appealing are also the reasons we need to be worried about it becoming more widely and officially accepted.    What does the mainstream status of Bitcoin mean for our economy? What are the potential issues we need to be aware of?   In this episode, I talk about wh...

Should You Invest in Silver & Gold in 2021?

April 08, 2021 06:00 - 16 minutes - 22.9 MB

During inflationary periods, investors flock to commodities like silver and gold. Should you be doing the same? In theory, it’s a great strategy, but in practice, it’s not a simple, cut and dried answer.    Silver and gold don’t guarantee 100% safety in a crisis. History has proven that they are extremely volatile and prone to government restrictions. Investing in commodities is not the safe bet solution we are commonly sold on.     How can you add commodities to your portfolio witho...

When is it Time to Ditch Your Advisor (Even if They are Performing Well)?

March 25, 2021 06:00 - 15 minutes - 21.8 MB

Advisors have different capabilities, and while some can perform very well for you at one stage of your financial life, they can fall short of what you’ll need in another.    An accumulation-focused manager who helps you grow in your earning years can only take you so far.   Why are accumulation-focused advisors poorly equipped to help you in retirement? What are the details a financial planner needs to focus on?    In this episode, I talk about the big disconnect in investing, h...

The Government’s Secret Welfare Reform Promises More Welfare Poverty & Higher Taxes

March 18, 2021 06:00 - 18 minutes - 25.5 MB

Without warning, discussion or debate, the American people have been roped into a welfare reform program that promises to set our nation back significantly. The introduction of the American Rescue Plan (ARP) represents a fundamental shift, a significant step back, and a precarious tax situation.    Welfare and government support should be a temporary safety net, not a way of life or a way to incentivize people not to work.    Why should the ARP concern us? How can we prepare for an a...

If Bonds are safe, why are mine losing value?

March 11, 2021 07:00 - 17 minutes - 24.3 MB

In the last few weeks, the equity market has experienced massive volatility. While we’re seeing it play out in the stock market, the root of this volatility is our interest rates and how The Federal Reserve is navigating the current pandemic economy.    The Fed has the difficult job of stimulating the economy to avoid a recession, while also walking the tightrope of reopening without creating more inflationary pressure.   Bond prices have gone up because their value is defined by cur...

March 04, 2021 07:00 - 13 minutes - 19.5 MB

Changes are afoot in our country, and the tax burden that is coming down the pipeline is going to be the biggest that we’ve ever had in our history.    This is the last year of President Trump’s tax code changes, and with 65 million Boomers expected to retire by the end of the decade, the clock is running out on some of the key tax strategies we can take advantage of and leverage.  In this episode, I share the one strategy we need to consider right now for wealth transfer and distributi...

When Should I Buy Out the Government?

February 25, 2021 07:00 - 25 minutes - 34.8 MB

Since the birth of the 401k, the government has been a partner in our retirement funds. When a partnership no longer serves us, it’s time to part ways. Because of the coming tax needs of the Baby Boomer generation and a higher federal tax, our future tax rates are going to hit our retirement savings hard. Even though our retirement savings are compounding, let’s not forget that it also compounds the federal tax. Right now is the time to consider buying the government out while it’s still...

The 4 Key Components of a Solid Financial Plan

February 11, 2021 07:00 - 22 minutes - 31.6 MB

Work, earn, accumulate, and retire - this is the trajectory of everyone’s life. The problem in America is that we’re so focused on spending that we don’t often plan for the future.  We get used to a certain type of lifestyle without seriously considering our immediate financial options to maintain that lifestyle after we retire. This is a basic but critical piece of information many Americans don’t have.  Without that basic information, it’s impossible to know our goals for the future, a...

GameStop, Reddit & Robinhood: The System Is Rigged

February 04, 2021 07:00 - 28 minutes - 39.6 MB

What happened last week with the subreddit Wall Street Bets, GameStop, Robinhood and multiple hedge funds is just the latest example that the system is rigged.  When private, retail investors banded together and gave the hedge funds a run for their money, we saw a coordinated effort to censor and silence them. Every free market principle was compromised by shutting down message boards and the trading of certain stocks. Why shut down public disclosure and discourse? Why clamp down on the ...

Eliminating Risk: The Art of Diversification

January 07, 2021 07:00 - 19 minutes - 26.8 MB

All equity investments come with two types of risk. There’s the risk of the stock itself, and the greater market conditions.  Every single stock has a specific risk and economic fundamentals that affect its prospects. This type of risk can be mitigated through stock diversification, employing an investing strategy of accumulating non-correlated stocks and positions.  Systemic market risk isn’t the same. The market is not something that we can tame or control.  We have no way to diversi...

Why You Should Question Pursuing Aggressive Growth Right Now, Even While the Market is Up

December 10, 2020 07:00 - 23 minutes - 33 MB

2021 is upon us, and after all the volatility and challenges of 2020, many of us are anxious about what the next few months hold, and the financial outlook for our country.   Even though the stock market is trending upward, this is not the time to invest aggressively. In a time of significant uncertainty, we have to be prepared for anything.   We’re headed for reckonings in 2021, and not just because of the economy. We also have to consider what the future holds in terms of coronavir...

3 Constructive Ways to Mitigate the Financial Stress of the Pandemic

October 29, 2020 06:00 - 16 minutes - 22.9 MB

The coronavirus has undoubtedly created the most stressful financial challenge since the Great Recession. Above and beyond the pandemic itself, we’re now really starting to see the emotional impact of the financial fallout.   As financial stress manifests as physical stress, we’re seeing higher levels of anxiety and depression, along with an increase in substance abuse as a coping mechanism.   On top of that, a fear of hospitals means people are no longer taking pre-emptive measures ...

Is Big Tech the Greatest Threat to Our Freedom?

October 22, 2020 06:00 - 21 minutes - 30.3 MB

Ever since their inception, Big Tech companies have held themselves up as pillars of free speech; but recent events have made it clear that their influence is endangering that freedom. We should be concerned by how they are using their significant power to decide what we can say, publish, and link to.   America is a better nation when we have a diversity of opinion and thought, not censorship at the hands of tech companies.   Whether it’s the government we elect or the tech companies...

The Biggest Tax Opportunity You Can Take Advantage of Right Now

October 09, 2020 06:00 - 19 minutes - 27.3 MB

2020 has been the year of unforeseen events and unexpected circumstances, many of them affecting our economy, financial stability, and the biggest industries in this country.   What makes the economy work is the free market, and when that market is shuttered, no business can be saved. It’s not economically feasible for entire sectors to be shut down and while the government moves to keep stimulating the normal economic cycle, this too is unsustainable.   In the face of so much uncert...

The Worst Kind of Debt You Can Have

September 24, 2020 06:14 - 23 minutes - 33.1 MB

Whenever we talk about the worst debt in America, we focus a lot on the obvious suspects; mortgage debt, student loan debt, and credit card debt.   But there’s a debt category that’s even more dangerous. Although it’s widely accepted as sound financial advice, many Americans don’t know that they are signing up for something they have absolutely no control over.   In this episode, I share the debt that should concern you the most and why.

What Is Your Wealth Gap?

September 03, 2020 07:06 - 19 minutes - 27.4 MB

The gap between your current income and the income you want to have for the rest of your life is a critical piece of information that determines your overall financial future.   Many people just aren’t aware of what their wealth gap is, and how to build their asset classes to match their retirement goals. Without this information, we end up operating our finances in the dark, without an integrated plan or a direction, which will have a significant impact on our entire financial house. ...
