Yes that is the problem. If not for the Federal Government Ralph's, whatever that is, could except gold for products. They still could but there is no common system in place for everyday gold transactions. We have been trained, if not forced, by the feds to deal explicitly in paper money, which, the last I checked, is still paper, and I can buy 200 sheets of paper for about one dollar.
You people are retarded. Leave them peoples polls alone, damn. I hope in my head you all are kids but I know your all middle aged white men that act like kids.
my money should be mine. I feel sorry for those unemployed, and if I had all my money I could send them a donation. Rather then being forced to give money to the unemployed I should be able to choose wether to send or not. Or to anyone for that matter! Urge your senators to vote this bill down and take the steps to return our country to a constitutional republic under the guides of the constitution. Urge them to shrink government rather then make it bigger. Urge them to abolish taxes.
