James Turk : Why gold is money

James Turk opines on the current gold market.gold and silver is super undervalued. We went off the gold standard in 1971 to go to the oil standard.Kissinger made a deal with the Middle East, we would buy their oil if they would buy our treasuries. There was one main caveat...world oil must be purchased in DOLLARS only. That's why America did it....to save the DOLLAR by attaching it to OIL.Go on Ben Bernanke .print, print, print! There is NO WAY mathematically the US can repay its debt. The hard maths dictate that aside from outright default, the US has no alternative but to continue the Ponzi scheme. 'Crouch and cover'. we are being taxed up to our eyeballs:Accounts Receivable Tax Building Permit Tax Capital Gains Tax CDL License Tax Cigarette Tax Corporate Income Tax Court Fines (indirect taxes) Dog License Tax Federal Income Tax Federal Unemployment Tax (FUTA) Fishing License Tax Food License Tax Fuel Permit Tax Gasoline Tax (42 cents per gallon) Hunting License Tax Inheritance Tax Interest Expense (tax on the money) Inventory Tax I School Tax Septic Permit Tax Service Charge Taxes Social Security Tax
