<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 1007415, member: 112&quot;]Now where did you ever get that idea ? A favor ? Gimme a break <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie11" alt=":rolleyes:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p>They do it for one reason and one reason only - to make money !</p><p><br /></p><p>After it became legal to once again own precious metals and the bullion market was deregulated for the first time in history, the US Govt saw what was going on. They saw how much money was being made by those selling the bullion. So they decided to do it too. </p><p><br /></p><p>Now the net result is that their doing so saves you money but apparently you are too blind to see that. It saves you money because all of their profits go directly into the General Fund - thus reducing the amount of taxes you pay every year.</p><p><br /></p><p>And you have a problem with that ?</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>No it isn&#039;t. There is no select few. Anybody who wants to can do the same thing, provided they have the means to do so. It kind of seems to me that you are just jealous that you do not have the means to do so.</p><p><br /></p><p>Besides, you do not have to buy the bullion produced by the US MInt. You can buy it anyplace you want - that&#039;s your choice. Bullion is bullion regardless of where it comes from - it&#039;s all the same. So if you don&#039;t like the practices of the mint, don&#039;t buy their product.</p><p><br /></p><p>Or do you think that you have some innate right to be able to buy bullion without the seller making a profit ? Or do you think you have some right to regulate how much profit they can make ? It&#039;s a FREE MARKET ! If you don&#039;t like it, you can buy the same silver at a thousand other places. That&#039;s what free market means.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
