U.S Notes were backed by import taxes?, Great!
Tax imports then! (TARIFF) Don't want to pay that tax, buy American.
The Tea Party happened because the cheapest Tea was coming in from across the seas.
American merchants had to pay tax to the crown while The Company sold tea free of this bondage creating a market where British Tea was cheaper then any other.
Does that not correlate with what has happened to every market in the name of "Free Trade"?

Allow the full scale production of Hemp that farmer's across the Midwest US are demanding for.
Then export said hemp to the Global Market.
The Bread Basket of America would be stronger if sown with hemp.:leaf:

United States: More states want federal government's OK to grow hemp

Henry Ford had it right with his hemp fields and hemp body car that was killed by banking/big oil interests. The dependence upon petroleum was incorporated into the system from its' inception.

I'm pretty sure that even if you take down the Federal Reserve it will come back as an even stronger entity in the future, hence my last post.

Edit: Oh and as far as your Kennedy silver backed dollars are concerned (that's what you mean by real dollars, right?) It would be very interesting to see how the economy would work using them for a year before everyone jumps on the gold standard band wagon. Sounds good in theory... but as we can tell from our previous president's blunders, what sounds good in theory isn't always good in practice.

No- i'm talking about "dollars"
although Kennedys system was also good and a Major improvement over what we have now.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dollar
On April 2, 1792, U. S. Secretary of the Treasury Alexander Hamilton reported to Congress the precise amount of silver found in Spanish milled dollar coins in common use in the States. As a result, the United States Dollar was defined[11] as a unit of weight equaling 371 4/16th grains (24.057 grams) of pure silver, or 416 grains of standard silver (standard silver being defined as 1,485 parts fine silver to 179 parts alloy[12]). It was specified that the "money of account" of the United States should be expressed in those same "dollars" or parts thereof. Additionally, all lesser-denomination coins were defined as percentages of the dollar coin, such that a half-dollar was to contain half as much silver as a dollar, quarter-dollars would contain one-fourth as much, and so on.

Hmm, interesting. I am a pretty big fan of Hamilton, and I think that a "trial year" of precious metal backed currency would prove to be very useful. See how it works out and what not.

Wow, "shame on you"

How do the police withstand such a powerful and scathing verbal assualt, especially when it's repeated so many times? I'm sure they all went home and changed their minds about what they did, turned in their badges and went down and joined the protest.

I didn't think it was possible, but the OWS crowd is actually getting dumber every day.

Dumber?

That was amazing. The police got brutal, then had to admit they were wrong and walk away.

People got sFUCKED UP in that video, and the cops realized they were being ass holes.

Watch the longer version of that video
"You use weapons, we use our voice"

"Don't mace your children"

"Fuck the police, from ... to Greece"

Sounds like people "withstanding an attack" not "Getting dumber". What did the protesters do? Nothing. They weren't doing ANYTHING, and the cops fucked the up.
