Why so thin? Because as was pointed out elsewhere it's not paper it's fabric.which is why it lasts 12 to 18 months

A little sense of humor helps...

I'm one decimal point off on thickness. the millin would be four point three inches thick. What I get for staying up to late. The problem would be getting that many hundreds.

When you here Benita Pelosillyninnie remember all those embedded taxes already added into any item along the from the miners, loggers, farmers who produced the basic material and those before them who produced their tools, transport etc. all the way down to whatever it is you bought as the end consumer and added in as a hidden tax on you and then she wants to do VAT on top of that? A boon for the Chinese no doubt but death to the producers and workers in this country.i doubt an information based economy or a financial based economy is going to produce that many paying jobs when the same information and financial support is available elsewhere. Hell our corporations can't even afford to answer their own telephones anymore. It will be a tax based economy with no one to pay the taxes nor interested in doing so. But then isn't Pelosi's real aim to destroy the country? Time to turn off the motor and let them sink or swim on their own relying on their own imitiation money.

A pipe dream but what if they gave an economy and no one came? For just one day. A national strike from the CEOs on down to the Janitors.Nothing produced, nothing sold, nothing purchased. What if they gave an economy and no one gave a s--t?

Well I didn't say it was a perfect scheme. I was thinking more about no more income tax and security of the funds which excludes the USA automatically. Hmmm maybe I ought to bank in the caymans or Aruba like Soros? Of course he probably owns the bank. VAT by it's true name is VST. It does nothing to increase value. That's why Mss Lube Job loves it so much.

He could have just taken the money on the bus to Mexico and then flown out of Mexico to where ever. It's not that bulky a package. According to the Treasury Department a million in one hundreds is 10 kilos at .43"thick. US money is 2.61 inches wide and 6.14 inches long; they are .0043 inches thick and weigh 1 gram.

one third of that would be .144" thick

Just have to stay out of mordida, dash, and baksheesh prone countries.Which means Greece or turkey to get to Cyprus.

Ah hell don't say that. Sinister is french for left.

There must be a way. Gringos buy or used to buy homes down here for up to a million dollars - most are selling for half or less than that. In my current location.I'll hae to speak to the real estate people.

I'll use a what if. What if I win the lottery. for say $400,000,000.00, I take the 50% option of $200,000,000.00 and pay Federal and State Taxes of 45% combined. Now the account is down to $110,000,000.00.

I want to put in non-interest producing accounts and do zero investing to keep from screwing with and getting screwed over evry tax season. I cancel my accounts where the regular retirement and SS is deposited. So they can't be paid. If they aren't paid I don't owe any taxes or do I?

I want to buy a home in Chile and another in Mexico and a third in Norway. Nothing fancy but say $500,000.00 each. Add one in Australia for a total of two million.I open a bank account in each country.

The lottery folks paid me in cashiers checks.of 25 million each and one for ten million.I some of that in Anderson Federal Credit Union which specializes in people who travel a lot IF you are former military retiree. But it''s all in a non interest bearing account. the other four go to the four countries mentioned into the same type of accounts. No interest. i report the money with copies of all the paper work. Including local taxes on the properties. Obviously I feel safer financially.

Obviously - Nothing goes to Bank America.

The question is to which country do I pay one million for instant dual citizenship?

So far and I stress that if the taxes are paid there is no requirement to keep the funds in a bank or other ...therefore the cashier's checks but perhaps T Bills would work too.Ther requirement is a. don't carry cash through airports and b. report all transactions over $10,000 which include that new tricked out $30,000.00 Jeep with the $50,000 competition bass boat. I assume the dealership Shoot that could be a payment to a contractor for installing a sewer an water line from the house to the street.

the only quirk is $100 a month automatically goes from regular retirement to Medicare unless I cancel that. No worries I still have 10 million in the US to cover medical bills.

Where did i find it. googled 8th Amendment supreme court cases most of which were death penalty etc but one or two fit the bill and this seemed to be the best fit.

Most of what did fit was in the realm of property confiscation and asset forfeitures due to RICO etc. And yes there is a ton of it that's just plain government greed . For example. someone sets up a lab in a motel rented room. Gets busted and the owner of the motel loses the property.

I found no mention of a growop on federal land causing the same legal response nor on state land for that matter.
