I'd consider the confiscation of any asset held by a private citizen to be nothing less than theft. Of course, govts steal from us regularly so there will be people who won't mind if gold is confiscated. Gotta redistribute that wealth somehow - in the name of equality and all that jazz ...

LOL I dunno. I'm not an economist. I'm just keeping my head down, working my toosh off and salivating at all the good buys in the real estate market!!!

I'll wait for Johnny Depp if that's okay

Regarding real estate wont this be a bad area to invest in if things keep going downhill?
With gold confiscation or other heavy handed gov tactics. Are the sheeple more of a 'ram' mindset this time around? Back in the depression, people trusted the gov more and were used to hard work and hard times. Nowadays people are spoiled, have many freedoms and don't trust the gov.
They may fight back? Or am I dreaming?
