Economic Self-Defense

"What's the moral of this tale? The mattress is safer than any government-accessible repository of wealth. The safety comes from the private versus public nature of your mattress. This moral translates to far more than the security of your family jewels. If you own precious metals, a reserve of cash, guns, stocks of any commodity...then shut the hell up about it and, so, preserve the private nature of your 'wealth.' This is a cardinal rule of economic self-defense." (Editor's pick)
