[net.legal] Paid in $

     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.

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?
