Government? We don’t need no stinking government! What have we gotten from government lately? Trillions in debt, open borderss, more than 2 million in jail, over 25 million on government payrolls, over 511,000 “elected officials” that only seem to get rich, 4000 war dead and counting, $3.50 a gallon oil, 25 billion missing fereral tax dollars in 2003 alone and on and on and on.
When it all comes crashing down make sure you all have lots of guns and ammo!

Dear Bob,

Thanks for everything that you have done to help save us from the part time slavery of big government. You are one of the pitifully small number of politicians that I wouldn’t enjoy seeing swinging from a lamp post.

A larger part of the gold price gain is due to inflation (increased money supply) than you realize. There has been substantial inflation in the Euro zone, too, though not nearly as bad as here. Unfortunately, Federal Reserve Chairman Bernanke is a Keynesian who blathers about “insufficient aggregate demand” while Americans consume 5% more than they produce and have a -1/2 of 1% savings rate.

The low savings rate in the US is a rational response to being taxed on the illusary interest and capital gains income created by inflation. The low rate of production (and high rate of imports and offshoring) is a consequence of the IRS depreciation schedules - build a million dollar building for your business and you get to deduct about $24,000 per year for the next 41 years. Gee, what a great deal…

Steve, you are right on most points, but the current government is not the people. It is a for-profit corporation, chartered in Delaware. I have been told there is also a charter in Puerto Rico, but I do not have a copy of that document so I can’t say for sure. If you have a contract with the UNITED STATES you are liable for taxes, if not you aren’t. However, those of us who signed, or whose parents signed, an SSA-5 for a Social Security number do have a contract. Or those who signed a Voter Registration form, or any of the myriad other “adhesion contracts” that bound us, without our knowledge or full disclosure, to the corporate UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. Have we been tricked? Damn Skippy.

Bob, I think you are one of the few Nevada legislators who has any common sense. Maybe it’s because you are one of the people, working for the people. That’s more than I can say for our federal government. My personal opinion is that the U.S. government (corporation) is conspiring against the best interests of the people. If a Washington bureaucrat said it was sunny and hot outside, I’d run for my winter rain coat. The war in Iraq is a distraction and an excuse to transfer massive amounts of credit to Haliburton, Blackwater, and other “Friends of Bush/Cheney.” I almost said money, but there is no money, and has been none since HJR-192 in 1933. In short, the corporate United States government is working to destroy America, and has very nearly done it. The destruction will be complete with the finalization of the North American Union, the Security and Prosperity Agreement, and conversion to the “Amero.” We have nothing to fear from Iraq or Al Queda, the terrorists are in Washington, D.C.
