i agree 100% about paper fiat. the rules of economics are natural law. at least as von mises describes them. fractional reserve banking undermines the meaning of the units, deceitfully further separating human action from inevitable consequences. not to mention the potential(guarantee) for abuse based on greed (both systemic and acute) compromising the entire economy.
this is however, NOT the biggest reason i support Dr Paul. i was a semi professional poker player on POKERSTARS for a few years. i added 50% to my modest 20k/year salary working for my dad as a tree climber/ lift truck operator. i had earned supernova VIP status and was earning tremendous VIP benefits from the volume of hands i was able to play, even on a part time basis and i was continually improving.
one year ago, april 15, 2011 our criminal attorney general, Eric Holder and his henchman from southern district of NY, Preet Bhahara pressed charges against Pokerstars, among others, based on absolute fraud by the justice department. i was shocked that these creeps actually believe that i need their permission to conduct commerce on the internet and that they had the right to blackmail Pokerstars into ceasing service to not only all citizens of the USA but anyone whose physical body happened to be located within our borders... with the misapplication of the wire act and UIGEA(2006)i became sickened with government over-regulation and decided to do everything i could do to resist the spread of big government.
the libertarian national convention of 2008 was the first time i believe i had heard the message of liberty or at least stopped to listen, and it resonated greatly. Dr Paul is the only candidate who has one ounce of moral fiber and whose eyes are not green with all the fiat he can embezzle during his potential time in office.
