How does something immoral, when done privately, become moral when it is done collectively? Furthermore, does legality establish morality?

Legality, alone, cannot be the talisman of moral people.

Walter E. WilliamsIt is not wise for us to permit a few people on the Federal Reserve Board to have life and death power over our economy. My recommendation for reducing some of that power is to repeal legal tender laws and eliminate all taxes on gold, silver and platinum transactions. That way there would be money substitutes and the government money monopoly would be reduced and hence the ability to tax - some people would say steal from - us through inflation.
