I remember that issue of statutory value coming up with the Liberty Coin guys. There were stories about business owners paying their employees in legal tender silver coins, which caused an enormous mismatch between taxable income and the real wages. Now those guys are in jail for domestic terrorism.

They were trying to make silver and gold coins catch on again during the Ron Paul Revolution. The details are a bit fuzzy, but I do recall they were prosecuted for domestic terrorism for undermining the US monetary system.

Wow.
I recall a story of Ron Paul being stopped in an airport because his campaign manager had so much in cash donations.
These people are sociopaths. They want to account for every dollar and everything we do. I think most people have no idea how evil it all is. Americans are far to trusting. I would say naive.
