Ranting Andy's a Happy Gold Standard Extremist--02-13-2012 Now We are all Gold Standard Extremists because we favor a return to the Gold Standard and believe that the United States went bankrupt as a result of Nixon's decision to abandon the remnants of the Gold Standard that were still in place in August 1971 .Anti-government extremists opposed to taxes and regulations pose a growing threat to local law enforcement officers in the United States, the FBI warned on Monday. These extremists, sometimes known as "sovereign citizens," believe they can live outside any type of government authority, FBI agents said at a news conference.The extremists may refuse to pay taxes, defy government environmental regulations and believe the United States went bankrupt by going off the gold standard.
