Louisiana Law Bans Cash for Second Hand Transactions

Cold hard cash. It’s good everywhere you go, right? You can use it to pay for anything.But that’s not the case here in Louisiana now. It’s a law that was passed during this year’s busy legislative session.
House bill 195 basically says those who buy and sell second hand goods cannot use cash to make those transactions, and it flew so far under the radar most businesses don’t even know about it.

Expect more of this in other states as the underground economy heats up and tax revenues dry up, and not just on second hand purchases. What are they going to do about barter?
Wrong. The Federal Reserve is like Grape Nuts. Grape Nuts are not grapes, and they are not nuts. The Federal Reserve is neither Federal, nor a Reserve. It is a privately held bank. In 1913, via the Federal Reserve Act, we turned control of our money supply over to the Federal Reserve. In exchange, we got to appoint the Chairman of this Privately-held Bank's board. ( who can be out-voted by the rest of the board).

Gentlemen! I too have been a close observer of the doings of the Bank of the United States. I have had men watching you for a long time, and am convinced that you have used the funds of the bank to speculate in the breadstuffs of the country. When you won, you divided the profits amongst you, and when you lost, you charged it to the bank. You tell me that if I take the deposits from the bank and annul its charter I shall ruin ten thousand families. That may be true, gentlemen, but that is your sin! Should I let you go on, you will ruin fifty thousand families, and that would be my sin! You are a den of vipers and thieves. I have determined to rout you out, and by the Eternal, (bringing his fist down on the table) I will rout you out!
