I don't have gold (of course), but if I did, they would get it by prying open my cold dead fingers!

roguedolphin: re confiscation of gold

All that people had to do was to defy the Government. I guess what they mostly got was bullion owned by millionaires stored in personal vaults and depositories.

That was the defining moment in U.S. history. The beginning of totalitarianism.

Woodrow Wilson: "I am a most unhappy man. I have unwittingly ruined my country. A great industrial nation is controlled by its system of credit. Our system of credit is concentrated. The growth of the nation, therefore, and all our activities are in the hands of a few men. We have come to be one of the worst ruled, one of the most completely controlled and dominated governments in the civilized world. No longer a government by free opinion, no longer a government by conviction and the vote of the majority, but a government by the opinion and duress of a small group of dominant men.”

Rogue, I was curious about silver in a situation like this. Would it be taken too, or just gold? Would that make silver go to the moon as people scramble to buy it?
