<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 1288643, member: 26302&quot;]Is it? I know it might sound paranoid, but the logic is sound. If you are willing to accept the government has an absolute right to dictate what level of money is appropriate for you, and to dictate how much you should be able to buy without electronic tracking of the transaction, what other liberties are sacrificable? The government impounding gold is pretty much the same as forbidding cash transactions above a certain level, which they have achieved by special forms required for cash transactions $10,000 and above, and the inconvenience of carrying around that many $100&#039;s.</p><p><br /></p><p>If you use the &quot;criminals are the only ones who need bills larger than $100&quot; argument, then you should readily accept banning gold, since it is also used in large criminal enterprises.</p><p><br /></p><p>Edit: Btw I apologize if this sounds like I wear a tin foil hat, or if I am being too argumentative. I just seriously dislike the government taking away liberties in the name of &quot;law enforcement&quot; or something. I have disliked from day one the $10,000 forms required, and feel they are violations of every citizens privacy and liberty. </p><p><br /></p><p>But, I also know I am too passionate about the subject, I will tone it down.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
