Missouri Lawmakers Pass Bill That Will Allow Gold And Silver Payments

Consumers in Missouri will soon be able to pay for their taxes and groceries with silver and gold.

This week, Missouri lawmakers passed a bill that would make silver and gold legal tender in the state.

The legislation passed by the Missouri state House and Senate will now head towards Republican Gov. Mike Kehoe’s desk.

The bill states that it will “require state government entities to accept electronic versions of gold and silver, called “electronic specie currency,” as forms of payment for taxes and public debts.”

It will also allow stores to accept the form of payments if they wish to do so, but it will not be mandatory.

Missouri state Rep. Bill Hardwick shared, “The goal is about restoring economic and political freedom back to everyday Missourians.”

Missouri added transactional gold and silver language to HB 754! Thank you, patriotic legislators! This is the third major win in a month, following Arkansas and Florida. Oklahoma can be added to the list if the OK Senate takes a vote by Thursday. Congrats Missouri! pic.twitter.com/JRHQ8dUETL

Check out what Yahoo reported:

Shoppers in Kansas City and across Missouri could soon be able to pay for their groceries and pay taxes with gold and silver.

Missouri lawmakers this week, in a move that surprised some, approved a controversial bill that would make gold and silver legal tender in the state. The legislation, which passed both chambers of the General Assembly as an amendment to a sweeping finance-related bill, is headed to Republican Gov. Mike Kehoe’s desk.

The Republican-led legislation would require state government entities to accept electronic versions of gold and silver, called “electronic specie currency,” as forms of payment for taxes and public debts. While the measure would not require businesses to accept gold and silver as payment for private uses, such as groceries, it would allow them to do so.

“The goal is about restoring economic and political freedom back to everyday Missourians,” Rep. Bill Hardwick, a Dixon Republican who sponsored a version of the bill, told The Star at the state Capitol.

But the legislation is one of the more unusual bills considered by state lawmakers in recent years and earned only a passing mention during a House floor debate this week. Its passage this year came as a surprise to some in the state Capitol, as critics have scoffed at the idea and raised numerous questions about how it would work in practice.

Rep. Kemp Strickler, a Lee’s Summit Democrat, said he opposed the language of the bill dealing with gold and silver. However, he supported other parts of the larger legislation and ultimately voted “present.”

Thanks to the tireless efforts of @MOFreedomCaucus members, Missourians are one step closer to being able to pay in gold & silver.

After years of crippling inflation, this @MOFreedomCaucus-led bill is a win for economic freedom! 🇺🇸 https://t.co/xSZI3VaG5R

Per Just The News:

The Missouri legislature has passed a bill that would allow the state government to accept gold and silver as payment for taxes and other transactions.

An amendment was added to a finance-related bill to make the precious metals legal tender, The Kansas City Star reported. The bill passed the legislature on Monday and is headed to Missouri Gov. Mike Kehoe’s (R) desk.

The legislation, led by Republicans, would require state government entities to accept electronic versions of gold and silver, called “electronic specie currency,” as payment for taxes and public debts. The bill doesn’t require businesses to accept gold and silver as payment for private uses, but it would allow them to do so.

If the governor signs the bill into law, then the Missouri Department of Revenue would be required to make rules on how to implement the law when it takes effect in August.

Kehoe’s spokesperson didn’t say whether the governor would sign the bill into law, but noted that it would “receive a thorough review by Governor Kehoe and his team.”

Uhhhh, all I can say is:

Got Gold?

Got Silver?

Who has been telling you for 2+ years now!

Wow!

The ONLY Two Gold Companies I Proudly Partner With

Gold is currently sitting at All Time Highs as I write this (and has been for weeks), so I thought it might be a good time to revisit this and make sure you had this information handy.

In the midst of covering politics, we also cover money from time to time...and while I'm not a financial advisor, I share what I'm learning in the hopes that it can help you and keep you and your family safe.

And that often leads me to covering Gold and Silver.

You know, what they have always called "God's Money".

He made it, they aren't making any more of it, and it has always been highly valued as money from the beginning of time until now.

So I'm a big fan and I think it has the potential to do big things if, say, the U.S. Dollar were to suddenly collapse.

So that's why I talk about it and why I want to make sure everyone protects themselves and your families.

So to answer the question of "what can I do?" it's really quite simple: you need to get some #Gold or #Silver in your own possession.

It's called "physical" gold and silver.

Not paper traded garbage on the stock exchanges that isn't backed by anything.

Don't touch that stuff.

And because I get asked so much how to buy it and what the best places are, I thought I would publish this and just get it out there for all to have....

I have two special hook-ups for you and these are the ONLY two companies I am proud to partner up with on Gold and Silver.

Both involve PHYSICAL gold and silver.

Because if you do NOTHING else, make sure you own "physical" gold and silver, not paper contracts.

The paper contracts (like stock ticker SLV and GLD) could very well go POOF one day and disappear or go to zero, because they're not actually backed by the gold and silver they claim to represent.

It's a massive game of musical chairs out there and when the music stops (and I think it will stop soon...) people who only own paper might find themselves owning something not worth the paper it's literally written on.

And I know you'll never forget it if I give you this GIF so....Let's Get Physical:

Now...WHERE do you get physical gold and silver and how do you know it's real and safe?

And that you're getting the best price?

Oh, and how about personal one-on-one real customer service?

You know, like you were some Big Wig millionaire at Goldman Sachs who could just call their personal banker and get help?

That's what I'm about to tell you.

I have two killer connections for you...

1️⃣ The first is for purchasing gold and silver bullion, bars and/or coins.

You may recognize Andy Schectman from Miles Franklin.

He's prolific on YouTube and just a brilliant guy, I've followed him for years.

I've partnered up with Andy's company, Miles Franklin, and I'm really excited to show you what they can do!

In fact, Andy's going to be coming on my show, the Daily Truth Report (follow us on YouTube and Rumble) in the future, and you're going to want to make sure you don't miss those.

Andy is a wealth of knowledge about the precious metals markets and crypto, and I've covered him here many times in the past.

Now I'll get to chat with him myself, and I'm really looking forward to it.

I'm spoken directly with Andy and his team and they have assured me they will take very good care of anyone in the WLT Report family (that's you!).

At Miles Franklin, everyone gets personal attention from their team of brokers and you'll get whatever level of hand-holding you prefer.  They'll also customize a deal just for you, but you have to call them and tell them NOAH sent you!  They'll handle it from there.  1-952-929-7006

There is no minimum order size and no maximum limit.

I think you'll love working with them, I already do!

You can reach them at 1-952-929-7006 and make sure you let them know that Noah sent you over, they've promised me the best of the best service and pricing for everyone in the WLT Report family.  🙌

(You can visit their website too, but best pricing is by phone)

That's the cheapest and most economical way to do it, to stretch your dollar into as much gold and silver as possible.

You'll get a personal phone call with one of their top brokers, personalized, white glove concierge service at no extra cost to you....whether you're buying $500 or $50,000, they'll treat you the same.

How about that!

No sales pitch, just real, actual help.

And the best prices you will find.

Ok, that was #1.

Now I want to tell you about option #2.

2️⃣ An equally great company, I am so happy to be working with these guys is Genesis Gold.

This is for people who want to purchase real physical gold or silver in their IRAs (Investment Retirement Accounts).

You know what the beauty of that is?

Two huge benefits actually...

First is TAX FREE baby!

I'm not a tax advisor, but that's a general oversimplification.

Never pay more taxes than you are legally required to pay.

And that's why I love getting gold and silver in my IRA (and why I hold a large chunk in an IRA myself!).

Second is if you simply shift money out of stocks (like Peter Schiff recommends) and into Gold, it won't cost you anything!  No money out of pocket!  

BOOM!

There's so much to love about Genesis Gold, starting with the fact they are proudly and un-ashamedly Christina!

They call it "Faith-Driven Stewardship" and they put it right on the homepage of their website along with a quote from Ezekiel:

Wealth Preservation With Gold & Silver –
The Genesis Gold IRA

By your wisdom and your understanding you have made wealth for yourself, and have gathered Gold and Silver into your treasuries – EZEKIEL 28:4

Genesis Gold Group believes the Bible gives clues on how man-made currencies (paper money) represent instability, and a lack of virtue and encourages living wastefully in excess.

Conflicts have beleaguered us since the dawn of civilization, and they can all be encapsulated into one battle. The battle is between currency, man-made paper, and gold and silver — the two precious metals found in our Earth’s crust, sent to us by our Lord to use as money. Man-made currency always leads nations down the path to increased war, greed, and ultimate collapse. History has shown that abandoning gold and silver has always been a bad idea. Gold and Silver enforce discipline, nurture self-constraint, self-reliance, and balance, and lead to confidence, a restrained government, and a more stable foreign policy.

Genesis Gold Group believes in empowering faith-driven stewardship with Gold & Silver are an integral part of a balanced portfolio. Protecting your finances with precious metals has never been more crucial during these trying times.

With a combined 50-plus years in the precious metals industry, let your Genesis gold and silver experts guide you through the simplicity of asset protection and growth with our Genesis Gold IRA.

Sincerely,

Genesis Gold Group

Empowering Faith-Driven Stewardship

Here's more on why gold and silver in your IRA are so powerful:

You can contact Genesis Gold here.

They are also very backed up with record demand, so you may have to wait a bit, but someone WILL get in touch with you for personal customer service and assistance!

Tell 'em Noah sent ya!

Oh, and did you know Genesis is recommended by SUPERMAN himself?

It's true.

Superman himself, Clark Kent -- Dean Cain -- came on my show a few weeks ago and we broke it all down:

Watch here:

Stay safe!

Make sure you can weather the storm when it hits!

Because the storm always hits eventually, doesn't it?

As for me and my house, we will be ready. 💪
