◄$$$ A POSSIBLE CONSTITUTIONAL CHALLENGE COMES WHERE A LAS VEGAS BUSINESSMAN PAYS EMPLOYEES IN GOLD COINS, BUT FOR TAX PURPOSES USES THE PHONY USGOVT VALUE OF GOLD $$$. This case could become a national story in a public spotlight, something the corrupt USGovt officials should not wish for. The USGovt has long declared gold coins to be valued at a ridiculous low official level, to keep public interest subdued. The entire banking system depends somewhat on gold not being properly priced. This Robert Kahre is the latest person to attempt to sidestep and outfox the USGovt on this angle. The Las Vegas Review-Journal is resisting a federal subpoena to reveal the names of readers who posted views on their website, since in the USGovt eyes the practice must be prevented from becoming a national movement. The website posters in the majority criticize the prosecutor Damm, calling him a fascist and nazi moron. This is an extremely important story, not only from a free speech point of view, but as a criminal tax trial. It is about using a different medium of exchange besides the corrupted USDollar. The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) might soon enter the arena, with their army of expert and experienced lawyers. It is amazing how few legal cases like these are lost by the people. Thus one could conclude that intimidation and cost draining is the motive of the federal prosecutors, not upholding the law. Defendants rarely lose, but they do go broke with costs. See the Las Vegas newspaper article (CLICK HERE). What follows is an excerpt:

" Las Vegas business owner Robert Kahre and others face federal tax fraud charges for paying contractors with gold and silver US coins based on the precious metal value of the coins, but using the much lower face value of the coins for tax purposes. Kahre, his sister, and a former assistant are standing trial for how they handled their own income taxes as well as their roles in Kahre' s unique payroll system. Kahre paid workers at his six trade related businesses in $50 gold or silver dollar coins. Those minted after 1985 are allowed to circulate as money. He also allowed workers to immediately exchange the coins for paper currency, as determined by the coins investment value. Two years ago, Damm prosecuted a similar tax case against nine defendants, including Kahre, on more than 160 counts. The trial ended with no convictions and four acquittals. Five defendants were only partially acquitted, and two of them were dropped from the indictment that generated this trial."
