The increase in value of gold and silver is directly tied to the devaluation of the dollar. Owners should not be taxed on inflation. Gold and silver represent a way for the small investor to keep their savings safe from the ravages of inflation. They should not be taxed for being successful at preserving their wealth.

Enough with the taxing of everything. The government is bleeding us.
I applaud Ron Paul.. the true American with real morals and plenty common sense!

It is stuff like this that relly makes my head hurt. It makes me want to scream “This isn’t already the law?!? WTF?!?”.

Sorry I can’t come up with a more intelligible argument than that, but I don’t see how anyone can look at a gold tax and not immediately think corruption.

Thank you Ron Paul for pointing out the obvious.

I’m buying gold for the first time today, just now realizing how important this legislation would be!

Of course they tax the gold— heaven forbid we do anything to stray from the precious dollar!!

It doesn’t take much brain power to understand this bill should have undoubtedly passed ALREADY!

So, we all are left with even more out in the open and obvious avoidance of our US Constitution, making all the same mistakes generation before have made. What a damn shame we have to waste so many years of our lives fixing so many avoidable mistakes, and yet, I have to just laugh as most of general public are to blame. PEOPLE JUST DON”T GIVE A F***!!! The world is scary, why try attitude.

Huh, well lets all make sure it doesn’t stay that way… Get people talking!!!

The govt already taxes us with inflation, they’re double taxing us by taxing us when we try to preserve our wealth.
