Steve Forbes explains why focusing on trade deficits and surpluses completely ignores the key questions of economic health—and why the focus on that could lead to serious and avoidable economic turbulence.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

www.commsolutionsmn.com- It was a big week as we lost George Foreman, Kitty Dukakis, and Val Kilmer. The former and the latter gave us so much in the realm of entertainment and it's sad to see them go. President Trump has been lighting it up this week. He enacted the tariffs, had the stock market tank, over 75 nations rushed to negotiate, and the tariffs are on a 90 day pause. China is now in the spotlight as it is trying to fight back, but doesn't have the financial strength to hold out. We'll see how long it lasts. Tim Walz took our $18 billion surplus to a projected $6 billion deficit. That is some of the worst financial mismanagement ever. Not one to learn a lesson, Walz just released his budget, and boy, is it a doozy. He also wants to expand the sales tax to some services that currently don't have one (like having your taxes done). He also wants to increase a healthcare surcharge on HMOs. There is also an anti-fraud provision included. In an effort to "fully fund education" he's cutting funding of some things, like text books, to non-public schools. He's not willing to cut the tax for our seniors on social security. We're one of a handful of states that still do that. Despite the cost for Southwest Rail doubling, it's still full steam ahead. These omnibus bills need to be done. Why won't the Republicans stand up and stop all of this spending? MN statutes say that bills should be single-issue, but they don't write them that way and the courts won't uphold the law.

Italy offers several attractive flat tax regimes for retirees, high-net-worth individuals, and freelancers looking to establish residency in the country. Whether you're a pensioner seeking a lower tax rate on foreign income, an investor exploring Italy's fixed annual tax option, or a freelancer wanting to take advantage of reduced tax obligations under the regime forfettario, these programs can make relocating financially beneficial. With potential tax rates as low as 5% for small business owners and a flat 7% for retirees moving to Southern Italy, these incentives offer significant savings compared to the standard progressive tax system. However, factors like eligibility rules, income thresholds, and visa requirements for non-EU citizens should be carefully considered to determine which program best fits your situation. In this episode of the Italian Real Estate Podcast hosted by Italian attorney, Marco Permunian, and dual citizen expat podcaster, Rafael Di Furia, we'll learn more about how these tax regimes work, who qualifies, and how they can benefit those looking to make Italy their home.For help with buying a home in Italy, and more information about Italian Real Estate Lawyers visit IREL's website:https://ItalianRealEstateLawyers.comTo contact Italian Attorney Marco Permunian and his team, you can use the contact form on the Italian Real Estate Lawyers website: https://italianrealestatelawyers.com/contact-us/Also to see more from Rafael Di Furia about life in Italy and life as a dual citizen check out his YouTube channel and website:http://YouTube.com/RafaelDiFuriaHttp://RafaelDiFuria.comTopics & Timestamps:0:00 – Intro & Opening Thoughts0:41 - Tax Residency in Italy2:26 - 7% Flat Tax Regime for Pensioners5:00 - Minimums/Maximums for the 7% Flat Tax Regime6:42 - Flat Tax Regime for High-Net-Worth Individuals9:51 - Flat Tax Regime for Freelancers12:29 - Closing Thoughts & Outro
