When I first heard the name Bobby Franklin I had the same reaction, who? Well, he is a state legislator in Georgia. This week he decided he wanted to introduce an interestingly odd piece of legislation that would runt hos Cash for Gold guys out of business. His idea was to require that taxes be paid in silver and gold coins. He defended his demand with the Constitution, of course.
no state shall "make any Thing but gold and silver Coin a Tender in Payment of Debts"
Ok. Sure, because that would solve a lot of problems. Look, the first problem is where the hell are people supposed to find gold and silver coins? The US mint decommissioned the last of them way back in the day. You know, I kind of want to support this bill just to see what would happen, but then again I must think like a normal person and realize that this guy its just nutso. Next time lets introduce legislation that can actually be carried out. Cool.
