I am sure you are being facetious with this comment.
The $10,000 is an arbitrary number that has been used for years.
This is not a new law..." # 124 by JD86

Of course it's not new law, JD86.
That's why I've mentioned the "War on Crime," and the "War on Drugs."
Like the "War on Terrorism," both of those un-Constitutional "wars"
were used to violate the freedom of good American citizens.
I'm not any happier knowing that an "arbitrary" (meaning "without reason") number
has been used to stick government noses into people's lives.
I was NOT being facetious.
What difference does it make what dollar amount
the government decides is more money than I need?
If the number is one million, a limit has been set on my prosperity.
Government that decides for me how much money I need is a tyranny.
The law we are discussing is about cash PURCHASES....
please show me where there is anything about how much money you can make? or keep? or even spend?
