I would like to know that if a state can only make gold and silver coin a tender in payment of debts and only the Congress can coin money, can the state force me to pay pro- perty tax, license fees, sales tax or any other debt in FEDERAL RESERVE NOTES (or in grass clippings)? If they can not force me to pay my debts what would this do to the coun- try? How could the government work if it did not have any money to operate on? I would also like to know if the federal government can force me to pay my debts in other then gold and silver coin issued by the Congress? If a man is free and acts that way why do we think he is crazy? Dave.

Subject: RE: Paid in $ Newsgroups: net.politics, net.legal Since the Federal Reserve System was created in 1913 the value of the Federal Reserve NOTE is now only worth seven cents on the dollar. By virtue of the Federal Reserve note being a note it is a promise to pay. While the FRN is a promise to pay there is nothing for it to be paid in. What I would like to know is if FRN's are only promises to pay how could we every have profit or gain when using them? Are we really free if we have to serve the government we created? Dave.
