I agree. So long as it’s my money that I came by honestly then it’s none of the governments’ damned business what I do with it.

And the IRS will send it’s SWAT team to arrest you, after which you will be tried by an IRS prosecutor in an IRS court under IRS rules. Where’s Lee Greenwood, I need some music.
It is all in the name of fighting the War on Drugs.
It appears our government has been getting lessons from the EU. When one’s money is in a bank in any EU country, getting out more than $400/day is quite difficult and normally involves an interview with a bank official and filling out multiple forms. Bottom line - the bank gets to decide how much of your own money you need.
This is again a situation of ‘the road to hell is paved with good intentions.’
War on drugs, war on terror, war on war - human beings will always do screwed up things, but they have convinced us they can get rid of drugs, get rid of terror, get rid of war. Except they say - we have to control and regulate and strip search you to do it. That is the big lie. As long as there are people there will be alcoholics, drug addicts, terrorists and war. But how can you get elected by telling idiots the truth?
This money reporting isn’t going to stop anyone except normal people trying to live there own lives. Plus it makes so many things illegal it is easy to stifle free speech, for fear you might be targeted (remember Lois Lerner) and hit with hundreds of thousand of laws and then persecuted by a federal authority and destroyed.
The founders knew better, which is why they basically didn’t have a zillion laws. They left your life up to you, as long as you didn’t do anything exceptionally bad you were left alone.
This is why I am against any power to the government, no matter how many times they tell me it will make me safer.
It won’t make me safer, it will just make me a slave.
