The Twelve Steps<\/strong>
\u00a0<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. We came to understand that our government is powerless over its spending – that our nation’s debt had become unmanageable.<\/li>\n
  2. We came to believe that a power greater than our fiat currency could restore us to sanity.<\/li>\n
  3. We made a decision to turn our savings and our investments over to the care of gold, as we understand gold to be a physical asset – not a paper promise.<\/li>\n
  4. We made a searching and fearless inventory of our wealth.<\/li>\n
  5. We converted to gold, to Krugerrands, and to Maple Leafs, the fiat paper assets of our wealth, thus eliminating our counterparties.<\/li>\n
  6. We were entirely ready to have gold remove all the risk of default.<\/li>\n
  7. We humbly asked our coin dealer to reduce our exposure to The Inflation Tax.<\/li>\n
  8. We made a list of those politicians that expose us to The Inflation Tax, and became willing to work against them all.<\/li>\n
  9. We gave direct support to Libertarians whenever possible, except when no Libertarian is on the ballot, and then we voted against the incumbent.<\/li>\n
  10. We continued to create wealth through our own industry, and then we converted it to gold, and promptly buried it.<\/li>\n
  11. We sought through silver coins to increase our contact with precious metal, as we understand silver to be a physical asset – not a paper promise, paying for as many day-to-day transactions with silver as possible, using our credit card\u00a0(not debit)\u00a0for what was not, and paying off the entire balance each month.<\/li>\n
  12. We, having had a fiscal awakening as the result of these steps, tried to carry this message to others, and to practice these principles in all our affairs.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
