Getting worse

There are a great deal of taxes yet to be heaped on the hobby of coin collecting. In my opinion, look for taxes to drive up the prices of ALL areas of collecting, which I believe will drastically reduce its popularity for years. We need to make sure that we have our thinking caps on when we vote the next round of yay-hoo's into office. To all you serious collectors out there: Don't worry, maybe in a few more years, we can get a government in place that will not have to tax and spend us into having to take money from each and every entity within sight. If the majority of us just quit buying coins and bullion, they would have to open their eyes to the realization that we have had enough monetary rape. But most of us will just find the coins we need cheaper, or will collect cheaper coins. I started collecting pennies back in the 80's when they were cheap. Now it is hard to find a B.U cent cheaper than $10.00 from the 20's or 30's.The squeaky wheel gets the grease, so as collectors we need to squeak loud enough for our 'government' to hear.
