The segment concludes with a poignant tribute to his father, Irwin Schiff, highlighting his controversial stance on income tax enforcement and offering insights from Irwin's speeches and writings.

Irwin Schiff (1928–2015) was an outspoken and controversial figure in the world of tax protest movements. A self-styled “tax honesty” advocate, Schiff was best known for claiming that paying federal income tax was not legally required for U.S. citizens, a position that led him into repeated legal battles with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and federal courts. Despite earning a degree in accounting, Schiff became a fervent critic of the federal tax system, arguing it was unconstitutional and based on government overreach. He gained notoriety through books like The Federal Mafia: How the Government Illegally Imposes and Unlawfully Collects Income Taxes, in which he outlined his belief that the IRS manipulated Americans into paying taxes they didn't owe. The book was so controversial that a federal court banned its sale, deeming it misleading and fraudulent. Schiff also conducted seminars and sold kits to promote his tax avoidance strategies, further solidifying his place as a polarizing figure in tax law debates. Schiff's defiance of the IRS wasn't just theoretical; he openly refused to pay income taxes and urged others to do the same. Over the years, this resistance led to multiple convictions for tax evasion, fraud, and contempt of court. In 2006, he was sentenced to over 13 years in prison for his repeated offenses. Despite his legal troubles and the lack of legal validation for his theories, Schiff maintained his innocence and stood by his beliefs until his death in 2015 while still incarcerated. Seen by some as a crusader for individual liberty and by others as a dangerous promoter of tax evasion, Irwin Schiff remains a polarizing symbol of the anti-tax movement. His story serves as both a cautionary tale and a rallying cry for those who challenge federal authority.

Yousif Almoayyed runs a concrete business based in Bahrain, part of a family conglomerate of businesses. It's a complex business, requiring the procurement of raw materials both locally and imported, the manufacture of products to exacting standards, the provision of on-time and efficient service and deliveries, relationship management, and cash flow management. The business involves high-cost capital goods and careful economic calculation of the revenue flows from those capital goods in an environment of fluctuating costs and market prices. His university education was in engineering: math and computer science. He declined the opportunity for a business degree in order to learn on-the-job. Part of his self-directed business education was the reading and thoughtful analysis of Austrian Economics texts, and the practiced application of the principles gleaned from non-stop reading. Show Notes By reading Austrian Economics texts and thinking about how to apply the learning, It's possible to develop an “economic way” of seeing and thinking. Yousif's reading plan was eclectic and broad-ranging. He first discovered Irwin Schiff's How An Economy Grows And Why It Doesn't. Then he found Bastiat, and heard Ron Paul mention Austrian Economics, so he signed up for Mises University, which he listened to in his car via iTunesU. Since then he's read all the great texts, many downloaded free from Mises.org. His reading gave him principles, economic logic, and clarity and precision in vocabulary. Looking through an economic lens results in a better understanding of people, their goals and motivations and the purpose of their actions. Now it is possible to look at people and understand why they do what they do. Economics teaches empathy — putting yourself in other people's shoes to understand their motivations and therefore their actions. This analysis applies to customers, colleagues and employees. Yousif declared himself “surprised and shocked” at why he had not been taught this before. For entrepreneurs, the core of economics is subjective value. Many people use the term “value” mistakenly and imprecisely. They equate money prices with value. But Austrians do not make this mistake, and by analyzing the subjective value preferences of customers and employees, it is possible to be more effective at motivating. To a customer, on-time delivery and operational efficiency have a value that can be reflected in higher price or longer cash flows through relationship strengthening. To an employee, convenient parking and recognition for extra effort can have more value than a pay raise. Your tennis coach tells you, “Keep your eye on the ball”. In business, it's “Keep your eye on each individual's subjective value preferences”. Austrian economics provides a uniquely helpful perspective on pricing. Pricing is a particularly challenging subject for entrepreneurs. The Austrian perspective recognizes that, at any given moment, price is a kind of average of what many involved actors think it should be, i.e. it's subjective. Some think it should be higher, some lower; some think it's going to drop, some think it's going to go up. At a point on time, all the actors settle on a number. Austrian economics teaches you to observe what all the actors are doing or hoping to do in the market at the time, and to analyze what's motivating them. Many things influence price actors — including the supply and demand for the product or service, but also the supply and demand of money — but always in the specific market of your local set of exchanges and local actors. Prices tell the truth. A lot of people won't accept market prices. They deny the truth. If prices contradict what's in the news, the news is fake. If a building owner fails to lower the rental prices of apartments because he things that would be going too low, and the building becomes one-third unoccupied, it is the prices that are telling the building owner the truth. In Austrian economics, prices determine costs. The entrepreneur has some discretion to manage costs, but must meet the market price. Entrepreneurs must meet the market price in order to sell, and find ways of keeping costs below that level to make a profit. The entrepreneur can have some influence over costs e.g. via negotiating contracts based on volume, or speculating, or finding new suppliers. Importantly, if market prices change, the entrepreneur's cost must change. Subsequently, it's important to understand that accounts look instantly different. What you did in the past is no longer an accurate indication of what you can do today. You can't repeat old arrangements when future prices change. Prices change the way your accounts look in the past, present and future. As a consequence, traditional accounting is mostly useless for entrepreneurs. Accountants do not really measure anything, at least not accurately. Many of their numbers are aggregated figures, or averages over arbitrary periods of time like quarters or months. Accounting takes something inherently dynamic and simplifies it and puts it into numbers for purposes of stewardship over capital. Accounts were originally simplified snapshots for owners who look periodically at what their managers are doing. Entrepreneurs who are actually running a business need to understand what is going on dynamically under the numbers. We need economics to understand “underneath the numbers”. Austrians are very careful with assumptions, and are sensitive to the many assumptions in accounting. For example, asset prices may fluctuate. They are accounted for via straight line depreciation, which is calculated for deduction from income tax, and therefore is not necessarily accurate regarding the real world. Austrians examine the ends of the people who devised the accounting systems. Knowledge of Austrian Economics is the foundation for confidence and decisiveness. An entrepreneur can never have complete data or complete information. Austrian economics enables the entrepreneur to make confident decisions under these conditions of uncertainty. That's because the Austrian lens focuses not on data but on more qualitative understanding. Austrian entrepreneurs utilize the principle of distributed knowledge from F.A. Hayek. Talk to salespeople. Talk to cab drivers. Observe behaviors. Derive indications. If those indications are pointing in a certain direction, reach a conclusion. Confidence, of course, comes from being right. So keep practicing the formation of entrepreneurial judgments. Call things before all the information is in. Review the outcome based on results. If there is contradictory information, don't be hasty. Economics helps you build a picture of what all these indicators mean. Supplementals Yousif mentions accounting as a field where Austrian Economics gives entrepreneurs a different perspective. See Thomas C. Taylor's Accounting In The Austrian Tradition, as well as his interview on mises.org. For a general view of Austrian Economics for Business, you might like this lecture video by Peter Klein.

Recorded April 16, 2019 VISIT PETER AT THE LAS VEGAS MONEY SHOW May 13 - 15, 2019 https://conferences.moneyshow.com/moneyshow-las-vegas/speakers/4532d84bf93311d3a5dd00104b96e7b5/peter-schiff/ Tax Day Yesterday was April 15th - Tax Day, or as my father, Irwin Schiff used to say, "April Fool's Day". My father thought it was April Fool's Day because he believed that that was the day on which Americans basically voluntarily paid a tax that no law required them to pay and voluntarily filed a 1040 tax form that no law required them to file.  Of course, my father ultimately went to jail and died and jail because of those beliefs.  I have been paying my taxes, although now that I live in Puerto Rico it's not nearly as painful as it used to be when I lived in Connecticut. 16th Amendment A lot of people don't realize that April 15 was not always Tax Day; a little bit of trivia. When the income tax first passed, or reared its ugly head in 1913 - although that's not the first time we had an income tax.  We had an income tax during the civil war. The North imposed the tax and when the war ended, the income tax went away. It came back again, and it was declared unconstitutional, correctly, by the Supreme Court in the Pollock Decision.  Then they resurrected it with the 16th Amendment, and following the 16th Amendment in 1913, the original Tax Day was March 1. Income Tax Why is that? Because the income tax is a tax on your income for an entire year. So, we are now in 2019 and we're paying our income taxes for 2018.  But you don't know what your income is in 2018 until the year is over. You may have earned a lot of money early in the year - you could lose it all back on the last day of the year and end up with no income at all - end up with a loss.  So the idea was, if you're going to tax your income, then we have to wait until the end of the year, and then we have to give you some time to add up your income and figure out what you owe and then pay the tax.

Unless you're Bill Gates you're just one serious illness away from bankruptcy. The paradox is that the US has the costliest health system in the world, yet it performs so poorly compared to many other countries. In today’s episode, Jeff Kanter and Dr. Berkson delve into this growing health care crisis surrounding health insurance. Health insurance is supposed to protect against possible “future risks” —but today’s systems are not offering all Americans adequate protection. Jeff Kanter is no stranger to politics and concern about regulatory health care and protection of the individual. Mr. Kanter was the campaign manager for Irwin Schiff’s 1996 Libertarian Presidential campaign. Now, Mr. Kanter is tackling health insurance. In today’s world of medicine, insurance companies have more and more control over how patients get treated. Doctor’s work directly for insurance companies, not for you, their patient. To create a new paradigm, Mr. Kanter co-founded a new company. In Health Excellence Plus, the doctor and patient have direct control. This new paradigm eliminates the insurance company as the middleman, and is an insurance game-changer. This new form of insurance, called “bottom-up patient-centric” health care, allows Americans to take back control of their health from third-party interference by insurance companies. Why does health care cost so much? Why are many Americans, even if they are insured, at risk of losing everything with a serious diagnosis? Why do health insurance policies presently—with high deductibles, co-pays, and excessive exclusions—offer little protection during a serious illness? Why are so few talking about this horrific problem for so many Americans? New options are emerging, especially for younger and healthier Americans. This information does not YET address the growing issues in Medicare-aged Americans, which are being threatened by decreases in coverage and by privatization. We need answers. And this show offers creative solutions for these serious health concerns. A serial entrepreneur, Mr. Kanter saw an opportunity to put libertarian ideas into action with the inception of the Affordable Care Act. You will be hearing more and more about insurance alternatives, and Mr. Kanter’s company is pioneering this direction. On this show you will learn: 1. Why is the free market the only solution to our problem? 2. What does a self-pay patient look like? 3. Why do you need to have a strategy when it comes to your health? 4. What is the difference between insurance and medical cost sharing 5. What direction are doctors going? 6. Which direction is medicine in general going?

Remembering Irwin Schiff Today would have been my father, Irwin Schiff's 90th birthday. If you're not familiar with my father's story, and I'm sure most of the people who listen to this podcast are familiar with my father but if you're not go to schiffbooks.com and pick up a copy of "The Federal Mafia," which was one of only 2 books banned by the Federal Government.  We have a lot of books, "The Kingdom Moltz" a book that really shows off my father's sense of humor.  It's beautifully illustrated by an artist named Andy Ice.  I always liked that book as a kid. The book is very appropriate now, because it really explains inflation and where it comes from.  My dad's old website, paynoincometax.com is still up, which has an archive of his old radio shows that he did weekly from Las Vegas. If you listen to my Dad, you'll know what I'm coming from.  My dad talks a lot about economics. Everything is Great! But today, everything is great; Wall Street had a huge relief rally today; the Dow Jones was up almost 350 points, pretty much closing right on the highs of the day.  The NASDAQ had an even better day, by percentage, up 120 points.  The Dow was down on the week until today, but this big gain brought it up for the week. Down Day in the Bond Market I think the reason the market was so strong was we finally got a down day in the bond market. The yield on the 10-year treasury went back down. We closed at 2.871.  Remember, we got to 2.95, we almost got to 3% and now we're back down to 2.871 on the 30 year. We had gotten up to 3.22 a couple of days ago.  I think this took a lot of pressure off the stock market and people came in buying. "Everything is great; nothing to worry about!" Commodities Strong Across the Board The commodity market, though, was very strong across the board.  Look at the surprise strength in oil.  Everybody was talking about oil prices coming down - we're already back up to $63.50 and above. Almost back the the highs.  Oil prices are going a lot higher. It's not just oil prices that are going up; commodities in general.  I think we are in the early stages of another major boom in commodity prices.  We had a big boom that ended in 2008 with the financial crisis.  This is going to be a bigger boom, because it's not going to end in a financial crisis.  This is going to be a dollar crisis, which is music to the ears of the commodity markets because they're all priced in dollars.

This is the first podcast I've been able to record since the death of my father, Irwin Schiff, who passed away on Friday If you're interested in learning more about him and the circumstances surrounding his death, I would encourage you to read my commentary, "The Death of a Patriot" There also links to many other articles written about him on my Facebook page You can also find on my YouTube channel, my father's debate for the 1996 Libertarian Nomination for President You can also find on the internet a video he created called, "The Secrets of a Tax Free Life" He died in jail because of his political beliefs and for standing up for his Constitutional rights While in prison, my father got insufficient medical care, he lost all his teeth, lost his eyesight and eventually died of cancer In my father's case, even if he were wrong, the penalty should have been a civil case My father was steadfast in his beliefs, and did not want to be released unless he won his appeals The Dow was up more than 300 points today The strength came from the ECB, as Draghi suggested that the ECB was considering expanding QE The ECB is trying to talk the euro down The ECB did not actually do anything, they just jaw-boned the markets with the idea of more QE This was a euro story - the dollar was only up against the euro The New Zealand dollar was up 1.3% against the U.S. dollar Gold was up 2% in terms of euros Silver was up .15 in dollars despite the big jump in the dollar index This lays more foundation for the Fed not to raise rates At some point, I think the Fed will another round of QE The reason Draghi suggested QE was over fears that inflation is too low It is running at .9%, but according the ECB, the holy grail is 1.9% Draghi was asked why he is spending so much money to raise inflation when he earlier said that low inflation is good for purchasing power How does the ECB think they can pinpoint inflation to exactly 1.9%? Draghi's answer was that low inflation makes debt harder to repay What Draghi is saying is that it doesn't reduce debt enough Why is it good to transfer wealth from creditors to debtors? He also said that with low inflation, real wages will rise Why is this a problem? Because the government artificially boosted wages in the first place expecting inflation to mitigate their true effect in the economy What's really too high is not so much wages as labor costs, due to government mandates We want workers to have higher wages in a free market based on their productivity All that is undermined in the ECB's quest to generate inflation Draghi also questions the accuracy of is numbers Central bankers are trying to prop up the stock market and the government The real debt the central banks want to wipe out is government debt This is not what central banks are supposed t do, they're supposed to be independent Another reason the U.S. market might have been strong is because of all the weak economic data that came out Housing was stronger than expected, but everything else was pretty weak The Chicago Fed National Activity Index, which was -.41 came in at -.37 - back to back bad months Also leading economic indicators experience their biggest drop in almost 3 years to -.2 Last month was also revised down Also the Kansas City Fed Manufacturing Index negative again Bloomberg's economic expectations index is at its lowest level since 2013 All these indicators suggest recession on the horizon This is music to the ears of Wall Street traders because it means the Fed will continue to play the cheap money tune I don't think the smaller countries that don't have debt problem will follow the Pied Pipers of inflation down the primrose path I think you are going to see a big drop in the dollar There are currencies that are gaining strength and will continue to gain strength especially with the Fed has to come clean

The purpose of talking about the negativity of politics is to create a better world for everyone The moral double standard of government must be challenged People comply all the time for all kinds of reasons "Agents of the State" do not work for us; they work for those "in charge" Cops: America's one and only--by force! A legalized monopoly on police force will always use that force against you Public property leads to making victims out of all of us, by "agents of the State" Impounding equals theft equals extortion racket Many "businesses" collude with those in government and use the force of the State to make money The goal of government is to maintain obedience (in order to "make" money and keep control) In traditional education, kids are managed, watched, and told what to do by those who presume to be "authorities" over them, which leads directly to statism Arbitrary enforcement of unjust laws makes perfect sense, doesn't it? Typical "news" stories don't have truth and freedom in mind Government as Jabba the Hut... Episode 3: A Young Person's Guide to the American Political System http://schoolsucks.podOmatic.com/entry/eg/2009-08-24T09_20_02-07_00 The illusion of freedom is fostered on multiple fronts in multiple ways The "authority" of the family--i.e., the head of household--has always held sway and generated the fear mechanism By what right, standard, and code do you presume to rule over me? It's incumbent on parents to see their kids as equally deserving of respect Unschooling principles are based on a mutually respectful code of morality And kids who are unschooled according to rational moral principles won't tolerate tyranny as adults Each generation is within reach of complete liberty; it's just a matter of how much of your life you want to take back that has been stolen from you "Public property" is a contradiction in terms, and a sure-fire way for authoritarian sociopaths to treat others unjustly Our distinct lack of freedom is the issue and idea of our age... The common denominator of socio-economic problems is government, and the irrational/unjust memes fostering it Hernando de Soto's misguided ideas about property rights http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/commandingheights/shared/minitextlo/int_hernandodesoto.html The illusion of property rights serves the interests of those in power to essentially harvest the products of the free-range slaves Lack of understanding in economics and human motivation leads to fears about exploitation by property owners Re-educate thyself in the nature of freedom: http://tolfa.us Feel free to rate and review CLP... http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewPodcast?id=254220370 The fundamental difference between Marxism and Objectivism (property understood and applied) is logic http://wiki.objectivismonline.net/wiki/Introduction_to_Objectivist_Epistemology http://aynrandlexicon.com/lexicon/epistemology.html http://aynrandlexicon.com/lexicon/objectivism.html Most philosophers throughout history have denied the validity of the senses and thus forward illogical epistemology Do you think that freedom should be the highest value for human beings? Reason, purpose, and self-esteem all require freedom Both personal and political freedom are necessary to live a life proper to a human being Rationalizations for statist memes serve as sick substitutes for genuine choices in a free marketplace The founders of Sudbury Valley School unfortunately incorporated "democratic" statism into an unschooling school (free school) environment - http://tinyurl.com/leukmc Being told that you have "a voice" in a democracy is basically saying that you don't exist as a respectable person The obedience meme is widespread, even among the liberty movement Some have decided NOT to obey - Lauren Canario Eminent Domain Arrest (in 2005) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v-ElrlwnMrA Is the lack of freedom in your life preferable to experiencing the consequences of living freely? With the moral code of altruism, there is no end to the sacrifices and thus rationalizations Only a tireless disobedient minority (of agorist intellectuals) can accelerate the process of achieving complete liberty If you're not doing anything to protest the injustices of those in government, and if you're not demanding better behavior, nothing is going to change Lots of wealthy businesspersons "legally" try to pay as little taxes as possible, which concedes the immoral premise of statism and emboldens statist oppressors Civil disobedience--based on the principle of self-ownership and property rights--is the moral thing to do, because individuals should be respected "Under a government which imprisons unjustly, the true place for a just man is also a prison." H.D.T. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Civil_Disobedience_(Thoreau) Reacting violently to political oppressors not only plays into the hands (fists and guns) of the authoritarian sociopaths, but it also leaves the authoritarian/obedience memes intact Nothing trumps your mind, volition, and life The greatest motivation and benefit of defying unjust demands is internal Those who believe that they are moral must come to terms with enslaving and incarcerating rights-respecting individuals Supporters, video cameras and the Internet are the primary methods of showing the immoral and unjust behavior of governmental "officials" (and shaming them) Complying--remaining libertarian talkers--makes it seem as if injustice isn't happening Stefan Molyneux's contrary messages: http://www.freedomainradio.com/Traffic_Jams/FDR_1448_working_for_the_state.mp3 http://www.freedomainradio.com/Traffic_Jams/FDR_1369_Tricky_Trollz.mp3 If we believe that it's moral and practical to obey, then neither those in government (nor bullies) will change their behavior as a consequence You're never going to get a significant fraction of people on board the liberty movement unless you do disobey, and incur the consequences of the code of immorality that's being foisted on people Violent resistance to governmental "officials" unjust demands basically would lead to your death and their death, and perhaps death of the liberty movement The authoritarian/obedience meme has existed for centuries--but it's time to evolve, and it would be a shame if we didn't Check out the activism in Keene, NH - http://freekeene.com Freedom Roundtable - 2009 Liberty Forum - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZUAoeQ-6Q2o In America, we have the rhetoric and pretense of freedom The next-step challenge is to get rid of the behavioral contradictions, to walk the talk All those in governmental schools need to listen to Brett's School Sucks Podcast - http://edu-lu-tion.com The horrible injustice perpetrated on Irwin Schiff: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irwin_Schiff#Convictions_for_1997_through_2002_tax_years Peter Schiff on his father, Irwin Schiff - http://motorhomediaries.com/schiff/ The immoral man whose job Schiff wants - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electoral_history_of_Christopher_Dodd The IRS is an institution that is evil to the core--they aggress against rights-respecting persons and their property Even if you're fully educated about complete liberty, as long as you comply with tyrannical attitudes, nothing really changes for the better For the convenience of the government, and on account of his heroic efforts, Daniel is no longer part of the Navy: http://immoralityofwar.blogspot.com/2009/09/day-131-end-of-my-military-enslavement.html War is the health of the State, and the State promotes war, first and foremost on "it's citizens" via taxation and regulation http://warisimmoral.com bumper music "Rise Above" by Black Flag (and Intro: "Richard Feynman: Disrepect for Authority" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yhD0MxacnIE ) http://www.myspace.com/blackflag80shardcore  http://www.sstsuperstore.com/product.asp?showproduct=SST007-CD to comment, please go to http://completeliberty.com/magazine/category/91697
