Note three things... No Currency, No collection of the whisky taxes and the New Country depended on import tariffs for revenue until the War of 1812.

What was the medium of exchange for the collection of import tariffs?

Anything that is exchanged for value is currency. For example, he currency in circulation on this forum is BS.

Anyone seriously interested in the evolution of currency over the years should read J.K. Galbraiths classic study Money: When it Came and Where It Went;

We are not a socialist country. We may have social programs good and bad, but we are not a socialist country.

Regardless of what you call it...we are in a Country that violates property and natural law. We are in a country that has a tyrannical government that does everything the King did when the declaration was established.

We are not in a country of government restrained by the people enforcing the limitations on government. (Article 1 Section 8 )

A thief is bad, a person who hires his politician to do the stealing for him is equally bad if not more so.

And, if Bernie is elected we still won't be. If Bernie could accomplish everything he wants to we still wouldn't be. People get really hung up on labels.

We're not? Then why do most right wingers lament how we've gone socialist?

Because they are right wingers. When things get tough for them they will grab on tight to the programs they have held as being so evil. Just like a Ayn Rand.

"Natural laws" could mean a lot of things. What does it mean when you say it?
