Constitution? What Constitution?
They take $96.40 right out of my SS check every month for Medicare Part B and that’s not even considering what they stole from me over the years until the “Medicare Tax”.
next it will be mandatory direct deposit,
THEN
you eliminate cash.
yes, do some research on UBS

Probably about all you can do is leave enough in for bills and take the rest in cash so they can’t track what you buy or where you go to spend the little you have left.
I am sure they will check what bars you go to. Whether you buy booze, cigarettes etc, then they will punish you on healthcare.
I tell ya, these people have to go and soon.
Thanks.
MONEY ORDERS.......
“The world has changed from the depression era. How do you pay bills, pay property taxes, utility bills etc without a checking account?”
I have known bible college students to use money orders, I think that is the term, the ones you get at a grocery store. It is a pain, but it is possible to do without a bank. Personally, I would keep the checking with minimal funds in it and do something with savings accounts. But if the gov is able to take funds at will, this nation is not long anyway.
ooh, good idea !
“Constitution? What Constitution?”
You’re right. I forgot. Kinda hard to change my mindset living 53 years thinking we had one.
Keep it up and the IRS will have acess to our arsenal too ;)
Ask Bernie Madoff.
Uh huh.
Last time I did that they insisted they wouldn't. They insisted I could make the payment at a private bank nearby; I refused to route my tax payment through a private company whom I had not consented to dealing with. "You're demanding payment, here's my payment, now take it or I risk losing my house for non-payment." Took a lot of ranting on my part for them to consent to accepting tax payment in cash, and they threatened to charge me for counting it.
I read the article. Bummer! MMmmm. Well, I’ll think of something. Maybe I’ll secretly “kill” myself and assume another name. :-)
You did point out that the money says legal tender for all debts public and private?
It's comming...
