Sun Tzu comes to mind. The best way to win a battle is to never get into that position in the first place.
I see this all the time with protests. Folks get their heads cracked by the riot squad and act all surprised. If you're going to a baton fight, you better bring a fucking bat.
We've known for years that the government covets your wealth. I've known that since I was a teenager.
Your best strategy is to have none. At least as far as the government is concerned.
I just had an unexpected financial windfall. I've been stressed recently because I want it off the radar and offshore immediately.
We are on the threshold of a very dangerous time, and you do not want obvious wealth kicking around unless you want it taken from you.
Just my 2 cents.
