[QUOTE="ToughCOINS, post: 2145057, member: 20480"]The language on our paper money reads, "THIS NOTE IS LEGAL TENDER FOR ALL DEBTS PUBLIC AND PRIVATE", and was written with extreme care, intent on guaranteeing that the USD could not be refused by those requesting payment. However, that statement does not require payment in USD, yet is crafted to dance around that fact. Under a contract with The People to honor that statement, the government cannot eliminate payments in cash until all cash bearing that statement has been destroyed. More importantly, the government could never "crush" the people's ability to use something other than its currency as a medium of exchange . . . whether for ounces of a cherished metal, a chicken, or a couple of promised hours of labor, there will always be something each of us has that the other would settle for, especially if to give Uncle Sam a little black eye.[/QUOTE]
