Hi Mark, Once again we have an exchange. I see signs of anger because you have miss read my posts.Your anger is well apreciated but I think you need to take it up with your elected officials. I'm not looking for a following nor do I expect one. As I've said before this is a forum, nothing more, nothing less. Now if you want me to give you an example of what I was referring to I will. Was in Yarmonth N.S. (spelling probably wrong) a couple of years ago and went into a eating establishment. The waitress was a single parent with 2 kids. Asked her about this added tax that you all have to pay for Healthcare, which by the way I understand is going bankrupt, stand in lines and are on a waiting list to get the care that you all think you have, asked me if I would not include the tip in the bill. I asked her why. She then began to tell me why. In turn I gave her the tip directly. Now you tell me where what you are saying is all so great. I asked her why does she put up with it and she expressed the same reasons as you. OK. Fine. If that is what you want and are willing to give up all the rest of your financial freedoms for health care go for it. To get to the point that you are pointing out in this post is that a governments currency and gold reserves are in relation to what they do for their sociaties. You want the freebees, you pay for them. Want it from the government you pay for them in taxes. When the employed drop off and the tax money doesn't come in and you are still giving out those bennies you print money, sell gold to generate cash and eventually go bankrupt unless someone bails you out. Of course the US won't allow Canada to go bankrupt. You have to understand that natural resourse alone can't keep you from bankruptcy. You tell me why you dollar is at 1.40 from 1.36. You seem to be a very astute individual. What is your country doing about gold. Selling I beleive?????? Later, Ron
