Business Offer From Uncle Sam

This is a fictitious letter to all of the dear
‘nieces’ and ‘nephews,’ of a loving Uncle,
named "Sam," written by investment and
finance guru Porter Stansberry 8/21/10.


To my millions of nieces and nephews,
I'd like to make you a business offer.
Seriously. This is a real offer. In fact,
you really can't turn me down, as you'll
come to understand in a moment…

Here's the deal. You're going to start a
business or expand the one you've got
now, right? It doesn't really matter what
you do or what you're going to do, I'll
partner with you no matter what business
you're in – as long as it's legal.

But I can't give you any capital – you
have to come up with that on your own.

And I won't give you any labor – that will
be definitely up to you. What I will do,
however, is demand you follow all sorts
of rules about
- what products and services you can offer,
- how much (and how often) you pay your employees, and
- where and when you're allowed to operate your business.

That's,my role in the affair: to tell you what to do.

Now in return for providing you my rules, I'm going
to take roughly half of whatever you make in your
business each year. Half seems fair, doesn't it?

I think so, too. Of course, that's half of your profits.

You're also going to have to pay me about 12%
of whatever you decide to pay your employees
because you've got to cover my expenses for
promulgating all of the rules about who you
can employ, when, where, and how.

Come on, you're my partner. It's only "fair."

Now… after you've put your hard-earned savings
at risk to start this business, and after you've
worked hard at it for a few decades (paying me
my 50% or a bit more along the way each year),
you might decide you'd like to cash out – to
finally live the good life - called retirement.

Whether or not this is "fair" – some people never
can afford to retire – but that's a different subject..

As your partner, I'm happy for you to sell your business
whenever you'd like and for as much as possible …
because our agreement says, if you sell, you have to
pay me an additional 20% of whatever the capitalized
value of the business is at that time.

I know… I know… you put up all the original capital,
you took all the risks, and you put in all of the labor.
That's all true. But I've done my part, too. I've collected
50% of your profits each year. And I've always come
up with more and different rules for you to follow each
year.

Therefore, I deserve another, final 20% slice of
the business.

Oh… and one more thing…

Even after you've sold the business and paid all
of my fees… I'd recommend you buy lots of life
insurance. You see, even after you've been retired
for years, when you die and your body is cold, you'll
still have to pay me 50% of whatever your estate is worth.

That's fair also, right? After all, I've got lots of partners
and not all of them are as successful as you and your family.
We don't think it's "fair" for your kids to have such a big
advantage just because you worked hard and made
honest money. But if you buy enough life insurance, you
can finance this expense for your children.

All in all, if you're a very successful entrepreneur…
if you're one of the rare, lucky, and hard-working
people who can create a new company, employ
lots of people, and satisfy the public… you'll end
up paying me more than 75% of your income
over your life. Thanks so much. But you will get to
keep the other 25%.

I'm sure you'll think my offer is reasonable and
happily partner with me… but it doesn't really
matter how you feel about it, because if you ever
try to stiff me – or cheat me on any of my fees or
rules – I'll break down your door in the middle of
the night, threaten you and your family with heavy,
automatic weapons, and throw you in jail.

That's how civil society is supposed to work, right?
This is America, isn't it?

That's the offer America gives its entrepreneurs.
(And the idiots in Washington wonder why there are no new jobs.)

Your loving Uncle,
Sam
