I really believe this is a "misnomer"
>>Under a gold-silver coin and backed currency, no deficit, no fractional reserve banking system, I'll guarantee you there would be individual, church, and voluntary help for the needy, but no forced charity, as is the income tax. Everything economic, would be on a voluntary basis, with no creating 'money' out of thin air, loaning 'money,' with none necessarily on deposit, and paying government bills with printing press 'money.' If a person were poor, he could get a job, fail, beg, or even die, but no federal government handouts. No Social Security, no federal backing of anything, except the dollars, which would be backed 100% with gold and silver, no matter who issues them, and coins being made out of the same.

How high was the duty on tea when the "patriots" jumped on the ships at night and started throwing it overboard?? We need some revolutionary thinking again in the US ...
The funny thing about the corruption of our money and tax system (really one and the same) -- is -- you won't find too many people that are truly ignorant of this -- but most folk think either 1) it's a power beyond their control or 2) something you just have to live with to get along.
In the next few years, it will be interesting to see what other kinds of outlandish propositions people will be willing to swallow to be protected from the terrorists ... |
