I love America, Spreadsheets, and Financial Reports. (I also know why they don't teach kids how to read this boring crap... it's so the adults they grow into won't know how to either.)

Quote
A video by Jones in which he interviews Commodity Trading Advisor (CTA) Walter Burien, who alleges that the majority (70%-85%) of stocks and insurance funds are owned by the federal, state and local government through investment fund participation.
According to Burien CAFR (Comprehensive Annual Financial Report), only one-third of government's gross income is tax income, with the remaining two-thirds generated from non-tax income in the forms of investment and enterprise. The Annual Financial Report accounting structure for government started in 1946 through a private group called [Government Financial Officers Association], and then was Federally mandated for all local governments in the USA.
A Google search will now yield over 260,000 hits on the CAFR. Mr. Burien suggests the CAFR review site CAFRMan.com, run by a retired Federal Auditor of 30 years, Gerald Klatt. The vide also includes an interview with former IRS special agent Joe Banister.
