Legal Tender

Why do we have a Federally enforced FIAT currency in "free" America? And why do we have people who try to use currencies outside of Federal Reserve Notes stopped by the government. Wait a second, we're free, we can barter and bank however we want. Why does the treasury only use money that is paper? Why don't they promote real things for its citizens to use? Why can't the government pay employees their tax returns with gold or silver if they ask? Why do they legally enforce paper money?

There are a lot of different isms in this day and age. Most people seem to think each one is distinct and that some are better than others. I wanted to create a table to show that while there are some differences between all these isms, there are also a lot of similarities. Have a look.

I keep hearing people saying that the economy is doing this or the economy is doing that. Or that the economy is bad, when will it be good again? You keep hearing people say the economy is bad. The economy is totally based on people and their work. If people don't innovate or work hard of course the economy is bad. Of course the recession has to do with banks not lending and the tightening of the money supply, in regards to loans we can get that is, but who freaking cares?

Most higher quality people throughout the world are able to sustain themselves. They are self-responsible and while they work with others, they don't NEED others to take care of them. They don't need somebody to direct their life for them because they can direct it themselves. They don't need a parent to look after them because they are a parent.

It's funny how Americans are not afraid of communism for the same reasons that they were afraid of it 60 or so years ago, namely: thoughtlessness, propaganda, media and so on.

60 years ago the scam was to tell everyone in America that communism was the most absolute evil thing on the face of the planet while at the same time they told Russia that communism was the future, it was the way the world had to work.

There is a common saying along the lines of, "When something clean is confronted with something dirty, that clean thing usually becomes more dirty and the dirty thing more clean." This fits in with a lot of things, but let's consider the case of America.

I am somebody that likes the idea of going out and helping others grow and mature. I like helping others in need and shining light in places where there is much darkness. The role of America has for a while now been somewhat in this position in certain areas. America has often helped other nations develop and become self-sustaining.

I think America is a lot like the story of Adam and Eve. You had a highly concentrated mix of DNA that was slowly brought down by the rest of the world. And while it did dilute the progeny of Adam and Eve, it helped uplift the rest of the world. America is in this same predicament. It had a highly concentrated core that severely left its mark on the world in the most positive of ways. The world has experienced a huge uplift as a result of these new concepts and ideas shared by the best of the world at the time.

It seems as though the people suffering the most from this financial blunder are the ones who brought it upon themselves. For the most part the businessmen and entrepreneurs are still able to make due and will most likely hold their ground as long as they are attached to a real industry and business. The businessmen saw this coming long ago when all these bills were being pushed. They have since taken the measures to protect themselves and their families. The ones who didn't see it coming, and who are hurt the worst, are the ones who brought it on themselves.

Since people don't like reading or studying history they'll probably never figure it out, but for those of us that do read and learn it should be stated that the government has never been, isn't now, and probably never will be your friend. All throughout history governments have always usurped power and stripped people of their freedoms. There is a reason why the American Constitution was constructed with a number of limitations of the government.

I find it extremely sad and discomforting how everyone across the world, including Americans now, is totally cool with socialism and thinks it is the government of the future. This same group of vehemently opposes anything that even has a hint of communism mixed in with it. Russia is evil! All those commie Chinese are bastards! Socialism? Yeah, sure where do I sign up?
