That's the first thing they'll confiscate just like during the depression.
They can try, but they have to find it, first. It will be much harder for them to confiscate the gold than it will be all those CDs, IRAs, 401Ks, etc. that are conveniently sitting in banks that are 'too big to fail'.
It will also be harder to find the gold than it will be to find your house, farm, ranch, or other real estate that has been surveyed, plotted, and recorded in the county records since long before any of us were born.
Today’s left promises wealth and happiness and justice and brotherhood. What they have always delivered is poverty and misery; injustice and death. It
will be no different this time around.
Every time I hear the left voicing their utopian aspirations and dreaming their totalitarian dreams, I think about all the victims that will suffer
from their selfless virtue. I can’t help remembering the words of Mal Reynolds in the movie Serenity, after discovering an entire planet’s population
has been wiped out as a result of the same kind of selfless utopian motivations:
“Somebody has to speak for these people….Sure as I know anything, I know this, they will try again. Maybe on another world, maybe on this very ground
swept clean. A year from now, they’ll swing back to the belief…that they can make people…better.
And I do not hold to that.”
Neither do I.
