In a world where everyone had a nine to five job for a big corporation it might be possible to exist without cash. I’m a low-end landlord. The people I deal with don’t have bank accounts. Their checks come from Walmart. They survive on the margin. You need a tree cut down? $500 cash. You need some odd job done, it’s cash. They either don’t have a steady income or they’re knitting together dozens of small jobs. Do away with cash and you instantly reduce their income by the percentage of tax and force them to increase their workload by 28%. They’re on the margin now. A few percentage points more and they fall off.

That is what the Left wants. They want more totally dependent on government. It’s a feature, not a bug, in their plan.
