America: Land of the Free and Home of the Bull Shit.

So it was insane that US currency was dependent on economic well being and gold for just about 200 years?

No, not when the rest of the world was as well.

But if the US jumped back on the gold standard, the value of the US Dollar becomes a fraction of the total gold reserve of the country. No more, and no less. If they were to switch over to the standard alone, the rest of the world could buy up all the country's value in an instant.

In order to work properly, you have to change the economic structure of the rest of the world.

Fuck the rest of the world.

It's okay, people! He's just drunk as fuck!

Good night, everyone.

I'm with paladin. Placing term limits on politicians in Congress and limiting (if not eliminating) corporate donations are probably the best moves for getting things rolling in terms of fixing this country. The 5% sales tax is not a bad idea either, it's easier to keep track of and manage than the IRS, which is incapable of reading its own damn laws.

This world would be so boring if it was simple. Were it so easy.
Well...at least you got to vent here...where it can do nothing. Its safer that way.

Have a nice day.

Also sales taxes are dumb and are inherently regressive, income taxes are a much better system

Either way, both at the same time are complete destruction.... I'd rather have sales tax though. Because then I can at least say what happens to the money I earn.

Yeah, "complete destruction," like public education, highways, and missions to the moon
