What is needed is a whiskey rebellion and not a tea party.

Let's say you run a second-hand bookstore. You need inventory to sell.

Your customers have plenty, in the form of second-hand books that they no longer require. You are wary about giving your customers cash as you have no guarantees that the new inventory will sell.

So you either "buy" the books with vouchers that can be redeemed in your store or offer part-exchange discounts on regular cash sales.

The filmaker Kevin Smith financed his first super-low budget film "Clerks" with a combination of loans, credit cards and comic book store credit.

He exchanged his huge collection of vintage comic books for store credit at his local comic book store.

Then he SOLD the vouchers at a discount to friends he knew from the comic book store.

He might not have been able to sell his whole comic collection in the traditional way.

As it turned out, Clerks was a commercial hit which enabled Smith to re-purchase his collection from the store.

In the event of major currency devaluation, store credit could be issued in arbitrary units and ALL your stock could be exchanged for those units in lieu of cash.

Alternatively...we could just use gold and silver coins!

where history split into the alternate reality of the book The Probability Broach?

Now your talking!

We have been talking about something like this for years here on DP. However I think you hit a key point. Brand it with a catchy liberty oriented name from history like "Whisky Rebellion" and it may catch on. And the Republocrats can't co-opt it since it cuts politicians out of it completely and gets right down to were people live!

Combine that with Schaeffer Cox's solution (see my thread) and we may have a winning combination of a brand new free society. I was thinking about this earlier and how someone could do business with others without license by both mutually agreeing by contract not to include the corporate governments or courts and if there is a dispute agree beforehand to take it to common law court instead.

have demonstrations under the title of a "Whiskey Rebellion".

Ever since the Tea Party movement was co-opted by the Neocons, I have been thinking of a new name, and why not "Whiskey Rebellion".

It even sounds like we upped the ante.

Are we gonna have a Party or a Rebellion.
