Some of us Americans know about the hidden "tax" of Federal debt and deliberate inflation. Every time the Fed lowers the interest rate, it puts more dollars into circulation and makes every dollar worth less. Every time the US borrows money to finance "off buget" activities, the dollar is devalued some more. Then there are the direct fuel taxes. The price of oil relative to the price of gold is the same as it was years ago. If I say anymore, I be banished. God forbid that anyone post anything important on this forum.
Vic - I think the point that ColdOne was trying to make was that as this is an international forum, "foreign country bashing" will not be allowed. I just want to make sure that "American bashing" isn't allowed either! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> Tom
