I'm a Man of Means by no Means

Regardless of your position on the debate between a fiat monetary supply system or a gold-backed standard, you have to admit that those currently in charge of the money supply are destroying our wealth. In 1983, Ron Paul argued against the fiat monetary system believing it took the power away from those that created the wealth and gave it to those that printed the paper that represented the wealth. For Ron Paul, misrepresentation of wealth is a moral issue.

Trailers for sale or rent
Rooms to let, fifty cents
No phone, no pool, no pets
I ain't got no cigarettes
Ah, but two hours of pushin' broom
Buys an eight by twelve four-bit room
I'm a man of means by no means
King of the road
-Roger Miller / King of the Road
