The Internal Revenue Service allows gain generated byrepparttar 111996 sale of a home to be excluded from federal tax returns. The homeowner must meetrepparttar 111997 IRS requirements for exclusion. Eligibility for exclusion is based onrepparttar 111998 five-year period prior torepparttar 111999 sale. If a homeowner has ownedrepparttar 112000 property for at least five years and lived in it as a primary residence for at least two years, as much as $250,000 ofrepparttar 112001 gain does not have to be reported onrepparttar 112002 yearly tax return. For couples filing jointly, up to $500,000 can be excluded based onrepparttar 112003 eligibility of each spouse.

The Need for an Economic Renaissance

Written by Doctor Edward C Hamlyn MBChB


Here are some facts, they are not opinions.

Economics is as simple and as easily understood as it is honest. Likewise, economics is as complex and difficult to understand as it is dishonest. Inrepparttar existing culture, there is no place for ethics in economics. All is fair in love, war and business. Economics isrepparttar 111988 study and practice ofrepparttar 111989 production and distribution ofrepparttar 111990 goods and services required byrepparttar 111991 human race for its survival. Inrepparttar 111992 existing global scene, we over produce and fail to distribute.

The situation is this:

With modern technology we can produce far in excess of our needs. There is a tendency to over produce alongside an inability to effectively distribute what we produce. We accumulate enormous surpluses. A war of attrition develops, as producers compete with each other, to sell what is not needed or wanted. A multi-billion dollar industry, called advertising, creates a demand for what is not wanted. Odd phenomena, like global warming, are by-products of commercial warfare. But atrepparttar 111993 same time a failure of distribution condemns billions of our fellow human beings to live in dreadful poverty and they die in their millions from starvation and preventable disease. Those in power rely on genocide asrepparttar 111994 only solution.

So let us look at what has gone amiss with distribution.

Distribution beyond a barter system requires a means of exchange. We have decided to use money as our means of exchange. But we have failed to definerepparttar 111995 word 'money', so that economics is flawed and unsafe.

These are all simple, self evident facts.

A successful economy grows. If it stagnates, it is dying. Therefore, to enable economics to function, when it uses money as its means of exchange,repparttar 111996 money supply must be able to increase without impediment, asrepparttar 111997 economy makes its healthy growth. Therefore there must be an inexhaustible supply, of what is used as a means of exchange, that can be drawn upon asrepparttar 111998 advance ofrepparttar 111999 economy proceeds. The rules which determinerepparttar 112000 speed at which new money must be added torepparttar 112001 economy must be clearly understood, easily seen, and thus easily monitored byrepparttar 112002 people. So as to see that it is done honestly. We tried using gold as our means of exchange, butrepparttar 112003 supply of gold could not keep pace with demand. We resorted torepparttar 112004 use of tokens of gold to augmentrepparttar 112005 supply of gold.

This openedrepparttar 112006 door torepparttar 112007 dishonest broker. He came to be called a banker.

The banker inventedrepparttar 112008 concept of credit to representrepparttar 112009 idea, that there was gold somewhere being represented by credit. Thus instead of gold as a means of exchange, we had an idea, which served as a means of exchange. As you cam see, and feel,repparttar 112010 whole business of money becomes hugely complex. So complex that people give up on it, and say they do not understand money. They then submit to fraud and you haverepparttar 112011 existing scene.

Let us see clearly whatrepparttar 112012 fraud is, so that we know what we are up against and why we need an economic renaissance.

By Law, private financial institutions are allowed to create and issue new money into circulation as credit. They can claim that assets can be used to substantiaterepparttar 112013 validity of credit. This allows them to seduce governments, businesses, and private individuals into accepting credit as a loan of money.

The instant a person accepts credit as a loan,repparttar 112014 Law states that he is a debtor and owes money.

He has to earnrepparttar 112015 money to redeemrepparttar 112016 loan, andrepparttar 112017 financier has then created money by counterfeiting money using sleight of hand.

This is modern alchemy. Instead of turning lead into gold,repparttar 112018 banker turns credit into money. And that is fraud. This is all very simple and if you feel confused, just go back and re-read it and spotrepparttar 112019 point I lost you. We do not wish to go back to using gold as money. Gold is too heavy. The way forward is forward, not going back to Gold.
