Jim Rogers : Bank accounts are at risk

Jim Rogers : It’s been condoned now by the IMF, the European union, and everybody else in sight; that a government in need,can take assets. We all knew they could tax us...but this is the first time that I’m aware of, that they’ve gone in and taken bank accounts. They took gold from people in the U.S. in the 1930′s…but I’ve never heard of them taking bank accounts. Now they’re doing it. So be careful because, now they can take your bank account under this precedent.

Jim Rogers : Your IRAs and 401k plans are not safe

 Jim Rogers : “If people have money in any account, anywhere in the world, cut it down to under the guaranteed amount. They might take that too someday when things get desperate, because the precedent has been set, but that’s where I would start if I had money in the bank anywhere in the world. 401k plans, IRA’s, and pensions plans which the government knows about may be next. They’re rationale would be, Well most people haven’t been doing well in their IRAs and pension plans for the past several years, so we’re going to help you. We’re going to take your pension plan and give you government bonds so that you have a guaranteed return.

 That’s how they’ll rationalize taking our money. They know where all the pension plans are because we have to report it, so they’re easily accessible by governments. They know where they are, what they are, and they’ll be able to snatch them away. Who knows what they’ll do, but they’ll certainly find some way to take our money when things get worse, they always have.” - in Lew Rockwell

Jim Rogers : Being happy, that's the main thing I'm trying to help with

Jim Rogers : "Being happy, that's the main thing I'm trying to help with. If you're happy, not much else matters in life, at least in my experience. There's various ways to be happy, of course. I'm trying to tell people the things that I have learned. I'm trying to teach them to be curious, independent. It's very hard to think independently, as you probably know. Extremely hard. Most people are not very curious, If they see it on TV, that's what they accept instead of thinking, what's really going on here? I'm teaching readers to be curious, skeptical, independent thinkers." - in Business Insider
