[QUOTE="il_devo, post: 708145, member: 20609"]I want a currency backed by much more than just gold. The gold standard is what got us into this mess. See, what happened was that in the beginning, people carried around gold and silver to buy things, then nice little governments stepped in and said "Hey people, we know its inconvenient to haul around heavy metals to buy stuff. SO now we are going to make it easier. Turn in your gold and we will give you this nice little piece of paper you can use instead." So people traded in their gold for paper, and their employers paid them in paper for doing work as well. People went around thinking this paper was worth value because their government had it backed by the gold that they turned in. Now that everyone was using paper and had complete faith in their government's gold holdings, the government turned greedy. The government thought, "since we have the people fooled, we can make more money than what is backed up by gold, and people will still think it has value." So print away the government did, and eventually the FED after 1914. While the people were fooled with this crazy paper, the central banks had control of the nation's gold and stole all of it from under the people's noses, essentially making the paper they hold worthless. That Gold has since been transfered to secret holdings of the European Banking Families *cough* Rothschilds, Rockefellers *cough* We are now feeling the effects of this today while we lose purchasing power as people lose faith in the dollar. And those with gold have the power.[/QUOTE]
