Eliminating Legal Tender Laws: A First Step to Sound Money and Financial Truth

10th January 2022 Patrick Barron 4531 Comments

Mention the term “legal tender” in polite company and most people will resemble a deer in the headlights. In simple terms legal tender laws grant monopoly status to money, usually fiat, produced by government; i.e., [more…]
