Any bets that soon the BO Tox will pull a Theodore and seize the capital of US taxpayers? Theo did it by using the IRS to order the sealing of all US Bank safety deposit boxes and seizing the gold in them, leaving a Government Bond in place of it.

Obama will try to go a lot further, which is why we have a legal exodus of private capital off shore. We can see it coming.

I know of FDR banning private US Ownership of gold in April 1933 with Executive Order 6102, but I know of no actions by someone named 'Theodore'! Care to enlighten me?
