Free competition in currency? Are you kidding me? If passed, this would mark the beginning of the end for the banking cartel. Who was it said "Good money drives out bad money?"

Oh, and it appears that Bernie Von Nothaus (Liberty Dollar founder) would walk free under 4 (c).

The revolution is happening. Thank God for Ron Paul!

Hey Stone, I find this part of RP's bill very revealing!

(2) no State may assess any tax or fee on any currency, or any other monetary instrument, which is used in the transaction of interstate commerce or commerce with a foreign country, and which is subject to the enjoyment of legal tender status under article I, section 10 of the United States Constitution.

Sooooo, does that mean that there IS a tax or fee in place currently? More corroborating evidence :cool:
