Tell me if this sounds familiar…

A local shop owner has been paying “protection” money to the local mafia for years so that they don’t walk into their shop one day and see the windows smashed.

The arrangement wasn’t necessarily a willing one on the shop owner's end, but hey, what choice did they really have when the scary-looking men showed up one day to offer their “protection”... or else.

Now, years have passed, and the shop owner has had enough; he plans on moving his family and business far, far away from it all. The local enforcers say it's fine; best of luck.

But they need to pay an “exit fee” or something similar for everything to be square…

Sound familiar?

Congratulations are in order if you’ve just said to yourself, “Wait, isn’t that how governments work?” 

You’re absolutely spot on.

You don’t get a say in what you’re taxed…

…and your liberty and livelihood are at stake if you don’t comply…

You better believe if you plan on exiting the system, the powers in charge are going to make sure they get one more big cut out of you before you’re out of their grasp forever.

You may call this in one shape or form “extortion”; others, like in the UK, for example, call this an “exit charge”.

As reported earlier this month, the UK is considering a 20% tax on “certain assets” owned by those who plan on leaving the country.

This proposed policy would add a 20% tax on gains made from assets at the point of exit.

Already imploding from their own manic fiscal and domestic policies, which have made living in the UK an utter nightmare, the powers that be in the UK keep continuing to find ways to grasp at entrepreneurs and producers who have simply had enough.

Many high-net-worth individuals have already packed their bags and left before the UK’s non-dom regime ended. I mean, what do parliamentarians think will happen now that they’ve floated this idea publicly…?

If history teaches us anything, it’s this: people who care about their freedom don’t wait. 

They act. 

…they leave before the net tightens…  or while they still have the choice to do so at all…

So, what's the next step for individuals who make the savvy decision to disconnect from systems such as the UK? 

It’s restructuring in a place that treats you like a human being and not a tax slave.

What starts as a policy “for the wealthy” never ends there.

Don’t fool yourself - even if you’re not wealthy, they want more of what’s yours, and they will come for it.

It may not be everything at all once, but best believe, little by little, they’re coming for what’s yours. 

The UK’s decline is accelerating, and every desperate new tax grab proves just how far they’re willing to go.

If you know that the decline of the West is happening right before your eyes, don’t wait for things to get worse to set up your Plan-B.

Please carefully read this important letter and take the necessary steps to protect yourself and your family before these politicians become even more desperate.

Speak soon,

Mikkel
