So the ruling class that exempts themselves from the consequences they subject us to want to be exempted from the consequences of dollar devaluation, too?

(Yes, I know this is a state legislator not a federal one, but still...)

Actually he’s said just the opposite (2), that he’s doing this to bring devaluation to light (1).

(1) — He does not want to be paid at the face value of $50 American Eagle gold coins or $1 silver American Eagle coins. He stipulates that he should be paid at their market values, currently $1,801 for the gold coin and $35.28 for the silver coin.
(2) — The country’s $16 trillion debt “is a warning sign we can only ignore at our peril,” he wrote. “It is very likely the bottom will fall out from under the U.S. dollar. Only so many dollars can be printed before they have no value.”
