No, thank you. I like FedGov not being able to track everything I do, and I don’t do anything inappropriate.

The loss of financial privacy is troubling. If cash is done away with, then everything you do with money can be tracked.

Is it anyone’s business how much you spend on booze or cigarettes or fast food, for example? Obama Care bureaucrats could make it their business.

While so many of us use debit cards and credit cards for convenience, they leave behind a trail. Which you may not want someone else to follow.

It's bad enough that cash no longer has intrinsic value. But if it didn't exist, we'd be reduced to avatars with the gov controlling and tracking our every movement. Think about it. The gov would know where you are at every minute by your transactions history.

My generation won't let it happen. But those under age 50 (or so)? They're being programmed to put their whole lives and financial activity on the computer, with everything being a digital transaction. How much of a leap would it be from that to allocating how people could use their credits. Every transaction would be taxed automatically, and every transaction would have fees imposed by banks.

Logic is that it would be a Brave New World, with barter being the only way to maintain some freedom.

Hardie, har, har. As if the government cares what you don't want.

Christians have long known that cash will disappear otherwise they can't control who will buy or sell. Just one more sign of the seasons.
