After the Fed is dead our private property will be better protected from the easy money, scarce money mortgage rip offs that private bankers have used for generations to swindle away the farms, homes, and businesses that we and our ancestors have worked so hard to acquire. With the Fed dead and gone every family will be better able to establish a hearth and home from which family stability, security, and prosperity can grow from generation to generation. With the Fed dead we can use our common money system to begin building new roads to prosperity. When individuals and families are given a fair chance to succeed and increase in stability and prosperity then there will be less need for government support programs. After the Fed is dead we will have made new progress toward the conditions Adam Smith lists as necessary for activating the benevolent "invisible hand" of capitalism and for establishing "the highest degree of prosperity".
We should get rid of the Fed and begin returning to the gold standard. Bring back silver certificates and begin exchanging them for the worthless reserve notes. But we will not.
While we're at it let's get rid of the IRS and the income tax and get rid of slavery.
The fed and Property tax good riddance.
Free banking=free people.
Money, of all types, is too important to be in the hands of government, and the elite.
The world trades everything. There are near two hundred different government moneys. No problem.
There is no reason there couldn’t be two hundred, or more, or less different money in the US.
How many different credit cards, different debit cards, store cards, bank cards are there? And, they work and are accepted. So too with private bank money, like we used to have in this country, before the Fed.
The only thing is big government Democrats, Socialists, Mercantilists, Republicans want a central bank, with federal power OVER us. Not US over them, as is the case now.
I have yet to have someone explain to me how returning us to the gold standard will prevent asset bubbles.
I’m not a commodity expert but I’m not sure it’ll be that easy bringing back the gold standard, gold prices might plummet to absorb the worthless value of the dollar. The dollar is only worth about 10% of what it was when we went off the standard. I think it will affect alot more than we realize.
None, it would do nothing but slow our trip to fascism and would promote the silly idea that individuals can take care of themselves via a democratic republic.
We need to be progressive and move forward toward tyranny so we can finally relax and know who we are as a nation.
No income tax, illegal. No central bank. Period.
Gold is a standard already on the periodic table. If you want to print notes full backed, part backed, one millionth of one percent backed in gold, or silver or Bennie Babies, go right ahead. Over time free people, freely choosing, will value some paper money more than others. As is their choice, and ought not be forced down their throats by others.
I don’t believe it, but I want a cushy job in the Big Camp. ( I’ll do what I can for you, but um I might have to pull those gold crowns out....you know for bribes. Your friend, Leiser.)
I am old. I remember having all silver coins and you could trade you dollar bill at the bank for a silver dollar. The bill said silver certificate where it now says federal reserve note. Now you can get a silver dollar for 20 bucks if you can find one.
I agree and I think that’s what Dr. Paul would do if he were elected president. we need to support him in his 2012 run.
He would of beat Obama but the conservatives would not support him. He was too Liberal on social stuff and did not like the wars. Soon many will find out he was right about a lot and wish they listened.
For over a hundred years, excluding around the Civil War, a ounce of gold, or a one once gold coin, was 20 dollars. Maybe a 150 years. Right up to the Federal Reserve. Since then, it takes 1,500 or more dollars for a ounce of gold. The gold is the same, it is the dollars that have become worthless
What a scam.
