[They want to tax yard sales?]

Once they can get you to accept all payments and make all payments by your cell phone. Then, they're tracking everything. No doubt they'll claim you'll have "peace of mind" and "security" by doing ALL transactions this way. With your fingerprint, thumbprint, voice-print for authorization, of course. Oh, and how's about a DNA sample so we can trace your family's roots back to wherever?

Don't laugh. Its happening in India. Even the smallest wet-market vegetable seller is being issued with an electronic card reader to accept bank-card swipes from buyers. Without cash, there isn't an alternative. The Indian Gov't is happy because tax revenues are up 14% since they banned large cash notes, and no politician is paying a political price either. Don't think that our own elites, leftists, and statists are not watching closely.

They will happily see the end of garage sales or church bake sales for that kind of control.

They want to tax EVERY financial transaction. Even the kids' lemonade stands (after they charge them for a permit and conduct a sanitary inspection, of course).
