Dear Reader,
I just watched Kevin O’Leary—Mr. Wonderful from Shark Tank—lay it out on CNN.
Cold, hard truth.
The game is rigged. States like New York and California have declared war on success with crippling taxes and insane regulations.
Kevin O’Leary tried to build a massive data center in New York. The bureaucrats killed it. He moved the project—and all the jobs—to Norway.
You can’t win a fight with the government. You win by moving your money where it’s treated best. Stop letting politicians use your success as their personal slush fund.
President Trump has been quietly collecting up to $250,000 a month from a single fund. And you can now get in for less than $20. Click here to discover more.
“I don’t put companies here in New York anymore,” he said. “Or in Massachusetts, or in New Jersey, or in California. Those states are uninvestable.”
Boom.
That’s not whining. That’s a diagnosis. A financial autopsy of failed states.
High taxes. Insane regulations. Politicians who punish success like it’s a crime. And he’s not alone.
I’ve been saying this for decades.
My rich dad taught me: the rich don’t get rich by fighting bureaucracy. They move where the game is fair.
Mr. Wonderful's Warning
Look at O’Leary’s story. It’s a perfect lesson.
He tried building a data center right behind Niagara Falls. A massive project. Think electric-utility-level power.
Cheap hydro. A perfect spot. Thousands of jobs on the line.
But this was New York. The land of “no.”
Permits dragged on forever. Local politicians meddled. State rules piled up like bad debt.
“Eventually it got so bad,” he told them, “we moved it to Norway… and all the jobs. Norway has it now.”
Thousands of good-paying American jobs—gone. To Scandinavia.
Why? Because the government in New York punished him for trying to create wealth. They made it impossible to win.
That’s the lesson.
Governments don’t build empires. They tax them. They regulate them. They sue them.
And when you win? They come for more.
The War on Cash Flow
California slaps you with a thirteen-point-three percent top income tax.
Then they try to grab your “wealth” on top of it.
New York hits you with property taxes that turn your house into a liability.
Massachusetts has zoning laws that can kill a startup before it even breathes.
It’s a war on cash flow. And winners like O’Leary? They vote with their feet.
Now he starts everything in North Dakota. Why? Low taxes. Simple rules.
People who actually celebrate jobs, not envy them.
“Fargo,” he says—boom, deals close fast. No endless hearings. No “environmental impact” nonsense that drags on for years.
O’Leary even runs a fund there. Forty-five million bucks into early-stage companies.
Because North Dakota treats entrepreneurs like assets, not targets.
Contrast that with the coasts. You’re punished for success. Build something? They fine you. Hire people? They unionize you into bankruptcy.
It’s why blue states are bleeding talent. Smart money flows where it’s welcome.
Follow the Smart Money
This isn’t politics. It’s math.
My rich dad taught me a simple rule: assets put money in your pocket. Liabilities take it out.
And government? It’s the biggest liability alive.
They borrow trillions. They print dollars until inflation eats your savings alive. Then they tax you to pay for their mistakes.
Meanwhile, the real builders—the entrepreneurs like O’Leary—say “no thanks” and relocate.
Norway got the power plant. North Dakota gets the startups.
And America? It loses jobs, loses innovation, and loses the future. All because of politicians who are great at one thing: killing jobs.
As O’Leary said about AOC, she’s “great at killing jobs by the thousands.” Harsh? Maybe. True? Absolutely.
Your Choice: Cash Flow or Compliance
So what do you do?
You wake up. You see the game for what it is. It’s rigged against you in half the country.
But the other half? It’s open for business.
You have to stop begging for permission from people who want you to fail.
Build where the rules favor winners. Own assets that no politician can seize. Gold. Silver. Bitcoin.
Real estate in free states. Businesses that generate cash flow without a mountain of red tape.
Kevin O’Leary is right. The policy in these blue states is insane. The taxes are too high. Those “uninvestable” places are job-killers.
Your choice is simple.
You can stay and let the bureaucrats turn your dreams into their slush fund. Or you can move your money. Protect your assets. Follow the smart money.
Choose cash flow over compliance. Always. Don’t say I didn’t warn you.

P.S. President Trump is pouring trillions into a new kind of infrastructure. And there's one fund positioned to profit from every dollar that flows through it — the same way McDonald's profited from every car on the highway…
In fact, Trump put up to $25 million of his own money into this fund… and it pays him as much as $250,000 a month.
