The
Constitution establishes a limited government of enumerated powers. If a power
is not explicitly granted to the federal government in the Constitution, then
that power may not be exercised by the federal government. This truth is
captured and put forth in the Constitution itself in the 10th Amendment which
clearly states:
The powers not delegated to the
This Amendment implements the philosophy expressed in the first paragraph, a government
of limited powers, where if a power is not expressly granted to the federal
government, then that power is denied to the government and is expressly reserved
to the People. cNow, Article I, Section
10, Clause 1 of the Constitution states (in part):
"No State shall ... coin Money; emit Bills of Credit; make
any Thing but gold and silver Coin a Tender in Payment of Debts;"
The power to declare
legal tender is prohibited to the states by this clause, and nowhere, at any
other place in the Constitution, is the power to declare or make anything a
legal tender ever granted to the federal government (Congress). The federal
government has no power to declare legal tender because that power is not
explicitly granted to it in the Constitution, and is explicitly prohibited to
the state governments by this clause, and is therefore a power denied the
government and specifically reserved to We the People to exercise, and no other
party, - and rightfully so. Only the
(two) people involved in a transaction should be able to decide how that
transaction will occur and what medium(s) of exchange will be acceptable to
both parties in conducting the transaction. Barter exchange (gunpowder, bullets
& food for furs, etc.) is a fundamental process by which men have existed
in the wilds (where there was no money, only goods) since the beginning of
time).
The right to dispose
of the fruits of one's own labor as one sees fit is one of the fundamental
rights that Thomas Jefferson based our Constitution upon. No person should be
allowed to dictate to another that he must accept some form of exchange that is
not acceptable as payment to the seller, or laborer. And, no party should be able to come back
later (after a transaction) and claim that they have not been lawfully paid,
and are therefore still owed payment because some form of a mandated currency
wasn't used in the earlier transaction. The founding fathers understood this
perfectly, and therefore refused to grant this power of legal tender to the
federal government, specifically denied it to the states, and reserved it to We
the People to exercise.
SO WHAT THE HELL
IS THIS:
31
U.S.C. 5103. Legal tender.
United States coins
and currency (including Federal reserve notes and circulating notes of Federal
reserve banks and national banks) are legal tender for all debts, public
charges, taxes, and dues. Foreign gold or silver coins are not legal tender for
debts.
This statute is
clearly unconstitutional. Can you tell me why a private corporation's worthless
fiat paper is now mandated by law as being a legal tender, or did the question
there provide the answer??
Do you understand
that under this existing system every American citizen alive today paying
income tax is nothing more than a Federal PEON to this group of private
BANKSTERS !!!
WELCOME TO THE NEW WORLD ORDER !
Do you still feel
represented ???
Did you know there
are laws against slavery, involuntary servitude, and peonage in
This whole damn
thing is totally unconstitutional sedition, and the income tax is being used to
destroy the American constitutional republic, its People, and their wealth,
freedoms and national solvency, by engineering a class warfare struggle between
the wealthy and the labor classes, which are clearly defined and delineated by
the tax brackets in the unconstitutionally direct system that is wrongfully
enforced today. The tax has been (is being) used to divide and control the American
People, rather than to represent them.
STAND UP AND BE COUNTED TODAY, OR LIE DOWN AND DIE TOMORROW !!
