 “In 1933, gold was money. The government had a right to claw the gold. It wasn’t the right thing, in my opinion, to do, but they had a right to do it.”

Luke Gromen, on “pRoPeRtY rIgHtS” https://image.nostr.build/cb98a9ea84afd63712dd31b372ed11ec8ad751b1906af77684be3dc5cabebbf9.jpg  
 They did not have that right  
 Agreed. But tell it to Luke. 
 I think "it wasn't right but they had the right" sounded too catchy for him to pass up 
 Gold is always money, regardless what state agrees. 
 Then Luke would say the State has a right to seize it. Now he says it’s “private property” so they can’t. 
 Governments have no rights. Only privileges granted by the people. 
 Ideally.
