From Alan Greenspan (before he turned to the dark side)
"This is the shabby secret of the welfare statists' tirades against gold. Deficit spending is simply a scheme for the 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." ~ Gold and Economic Freedom by Alan Greenspan [written in 1966]
