If government issued an edict that you were to turn in your gold in exchange for FRNs, would you do it?

Read the ORIGINAL edict. Just change the dates. Its now time to turn in your gold because Uncle Sam said so.

Poll forthcoming.

Could the people voting "other" perhaps make a note of what constitutes "other"? Sharing your creativity on the issue might be helpful to others.

Its called creeping TEOTWAWKI. Just because it doesn't happen all at once doesn't mean it isn't happening.

Only the government can turn me into a criminal. For 43 years I have chosen not to be one.

Gold, guns, real property, etc.

When they try to confiscate what I bought with my own production is when I become a criminal.

I have worked since I was a teenager and paid my taxes all the way, unlike many in government. I don't take their food stamps, welfare, grants, etc. I think I've been square with the government and paid them my fair dues.

No, I wouldn't give them ****! I'd melt it down and cast it into wadcutters first. Enough is enough.

I sold mine for money to trade the markets.

ETA

The fact that no self respecting gold bug would post to such a poll makes the results suspect.

I'm with cool - I've tried to live a law abiding lifestyle, but when they come to take something that is rightfully mine, I'll have a problem with that.

Depends on the price. Turn in gold and payoff mortgage? Probably. Turn in gold and have enough to buy a car? Probably not.

Those of us who don't have a mortgage might not be so easily enticed. ;-)

It's not even the money for me. I don't have enough metal to make a huge dent in anybody's bank account. It's the fact that these bastards think that they can micro manage every aspect of my life. Frankly, I'm getting a little tired of it.

I don't even have any gold, but if it looked like they were gonna do something like that I would go buy some just for the "**** you" of not turning it in.

I dont have any gold other than my wedding ring and my wifes jewelry box. I do have some silver stacked up. But they are not getting any of it. I would treat any thug who came to confiscate it the same as I would treat any thug who attempted to steal my wifes jewelry in front of me.

The "color of law" does not mean you can steal property. In fact, there is pretty decent case law about it. And then there is the whole jury thing.

So yeah. I'll shoot them. I ain't giving them ****.
Not guns, not silver, not gold, not anything.

One of these days, it might dawn on people that, when the government takes their money every 4/15, and forces every above-board business to steal for it at the point of any sale, -- that it has been doing so all along.

The problem is that gvmt is NOT taking their money on 4/15 but taking it from them every week like stealing portions of the meat being handed to the zoo animals. Eventually - the animals get used to being handed less and less meat.

Not only that, but they get given the 'bonus' of a refund check. smiley

Why do you complain? It's the criminals who decide how proceeds of crime are spent, not the victims.
