"This is the shabby secret of the welfare statists’ tirades against
gold. Deficit spending is simply a scheme for the ‘hidden’
confiscation of wealth. Gold stands in the way of this insidious
process. It stands as a protector of property rights. If one grasps
this, one has no difficulty in understanding the statists’ antagonism
toward the gold standard."
Alan Greenspan (1966)

"You have to choose [as a voter] between trusting to the natural
stability of gold and the natural stability and intelligence of the
members of the government. And with due respect to these
gentlemen, I advise you, as long as the capitalist system lasts, to
vote for gold."
George Bernard Shaw (1856-1950)
