farm owners will get taxed until they wish they were dead

WHo will tax them General? Who will come take the KEY thing at the base of maslow's hierarchy? FOOD?

Not you with your GOLD - no General - you won't scare me up with shiny gold coins to give you my FOOD from my farm, but if there is about 20 of you wearing military fatigues with sniper RIFLES trained on me - then I may be motivated to give up my food on the farm and pay those TAXES - that was true in ancient ROME - it is true today - and will be true for probably all eternity!

the person skipping and dancing down the street? he owns gold

That fool only owns it for as long as the people with guns LET HIM - the MOMENT they want it - it will be thiers - just like the taxes the farmer pays - why does he PAY it General?

Howdy do and good morning Jay,

Here is my new 21st century fiat wallet:

images.amazon.com

That I prepare to stuff with worthless Weimar-like toilet paper:

photos1.blogger.com

While I keep this buried in the back yard:

im.rediff.com

Though I agree with "shades" that it's good to keep one or two of these around:

mossberg.com

And one of these, with a few spare clips close at hand:

taurususa.com

As we live in the land of budding fascism and chaos...

Best,
s

... with a hat tip to Ramsey, I'll add:
