Banks only have 10% of depositers money. How are you going to peg gold to money that doesn't exsist? Thats just going to bankrupt banks until the whole financial system collapses.

If the government allowed people to exchange securities for gold, than 1/3rd of our gold would disapear to foreign nations. I seriously doubt that would ever happen.. Maybe if we would have done that when this book was written. That wouldn’t work at all!!

Yes, for me, the answers lie in liberty, sound money, and the free market. For you, the answers are to be found in control, government issued debt notes, and a centrally planned economy.Fourth, I have already explained what sound money is and how we can make our way back to it. Yes, the explanations have been brief but, again, an internet message board isn't the proper environment for such a hefty endeavor.

That has nothing to do with what I just said. Are you trying to talk about something else? bc I can tell you one thing. Those conspiracies are generations old. They are not in the least bit relevent. There have been hundreds to thousands of employees that have worked there since your conspiracy. Thats like me calling you racist because your great grandfather probably was.

Your answer for everything is "sound money" and "free market" but you dont understand it so you use the terms blindly.

If you've read it and know its in there, than you can tell me about it..

I am merely pointing out your mistakes. Since you are more of a math person, I will use a math analogy to help you understand.Let's suppose I consistently said that 2 + 2 = 8. In response, you simply state that I am in error and say that 2 + 2 = 4. Would I in any way be justified in claiming you were making fun of me?As for where the commodity money would come from, give Hayek's Choice in Currency a skim or check out The Ethics of Money Production (among others).

And where would this commodity come from? If your not going to be specific, than you dont understand it. plain and simple.

I really don't care if you make fun of my english. I've always recieved B's in it. I'm more of a math person. I recieved the student of the year for math in my high school... I've taken 2 composition classes and one literature class in college but we didn't work on our grammer.. That still doesn't excuse your lack of knowledge in politics, history, and money. your still a dog. I really don’t care if you make fun of my english. I’ve always recieved B’s in it.
