The historical Gold to silver price ratio was 15 or 16. It was higher than that 100 years ago. They were never priced the same.
WTF does the price of gold have to do with anything?? Gold is just a metal , that like silver , copper and lead has value based on actual usage and perceived value ,,, 100 years ago silver and gold were priced the same ,,, Would you like to trade me an ounce of your gold for an ounce of silver? Gold only retained it’s valuation as it still has industrial uses (mainly in electronics). As your post was so totally off the subject I will take it that you have nothing of value to add and you are just attempting to muddy the waters...
Oh, so glad that you can exclude me from the conversation from pointing out the blatant flaw in the theory that ‘hidden taxes’ drive up the price of goods. I told you a method of determining the lowest profit margin out there, so you could see how little of it is even remotely affected by taxes, and thus, I’m muddying the waters by demonstrating the flaw in the argument.
But I’m used to this; I might as well attack a religious cult as to actual bring up realistic concerns about the ‘fair tax’ plan, and the effects that it could bring. Then again, least the cult people are mildly truthful in never wanting to hear an opposing opinion.
