As editor of the AntiShyster, I've seen so many
unbelievable stories over the last eight years, that I've become jaded, cynical and
worldly. There are no surprises left for me. I'm sure that I've seen it all. I've thought
so for several years. And generally speaking, about every two or three months, life proves
me absolutely wrong by showing me another story so awesome that I'm left (almost)
speechless. This article introduces another one of those stories so awesome that it's
right off the Richter Scale.
Walter Burien Jr. worked as a Wall Street commodity trader
for fifteen years, but now resides in Arizona. According to Mr. Burien, every state,
county and major metropolitan city is keeping two sets of books. One set (the 'Budget') is
commonly available and tracks each governmental entity's casts and tax revenue. The Budget
is the financial record that's seen by the public and used by politicians to justify new
governmental services and higher taxes.
However, there is a second set of books (called the
Comprehensive Annual Financial Report, or CAFR) which is virtually unkown to the public
but contains the real record of total governmental income. According to Mr. Burien,
although the Budget gives an accurate account of government costs, only the CAFR gives an
accurate account ot government's income.
For example, while a particular state budget might report
receiving $20 billion in taxes (just barely enough to sustain its $20 billion in costs) -
the CAFR might reveal the state's real income is in the neighborhood of $60 billion -
three times as much as reported on the budget. If these allegations are accurate, the
particular state could stop charging all the taxes we are familiar with and, not only
survive but, either double the amount of reported government services or give every
citizen
a huge tax rebate.
The implications are mind-boggling. They'd mean our world
is so different from what we are led to believe, so much more corrupt than even I suspect,
that we are left with three choices, either; 1) government agrees to end the deception and
stop overtaxing us, or 2) the American people agree to accept their status as slaves, or
3) both sides refuse to agree and precipitate a shooting revolution. The issue is that
big.
But are Mr. Burien's allegation correct? How could any
governmental entity dare to routinely overcharge its citizens by 200%, underreport its
income by 2/3rds, and knowingly press for higher taxes based on an inaccurate budget?
Worse, how could such a fraudulent system become widespread among all states, counties,
cities and
the Federal Government? When you stop to think about it, Mr. Burien's allegations are too
fantastic to be credible.
Nevertheless, I talked to Mr. Burien by phone for several
hours and found him to be articulate, knowledgable, and apparently sincere. I asked a
retired professor of economics to interview Mr. Burien and evaluate his allegations.
The professor's assessment? Burien is probably correct. I steered an Alaskan M.D.
(who is also a dedicated constitutionalist researcher) to Mr. Burien. The Doctor
subsequently found evidence supporting Mr. Burien's claims: The State of Alaska and the
city of Anchorage both use Budget/CAFR accounting systems that conceal a
'breathtaking'difference in reported revenue. Another researcher in Wyoming claims that a
comparison of his state's budget and CAFR also support Mr. Burien's arguments.
In every case, there are two sets of books and the income reported on the budget is
millions or billions of dollars less than is reportedon the CAFR.
Does this support prove Mr. Burien's extraordinary
allegations? No. But they lend enough credence to publish his allegations to a broader
audience who will do more research to confirm, refute or refine those allegations.
What follows is an amalgam of statements or implications
raised by Mr. Burien on our telephone conversation, Tom Valentine's radio interview, Mr.
Burien's Email, and an article on Mr. Burien written by "Betsy Ross".
