<p>[QUOTE=&quot;V. Kurt Bellman, post: 2145163, member: 71723&quot;]The move is on to a cashless society and those who want it will do whatever it takes to get there, including voiding the legal tender language on the currency. They&#039;ve already voided the language on gold and silver certificates. What makes you think it can&#039;t be done again?</p><p><br /></p><p>There are valid reasons to want to do this. Those evading taxes by doing cash transactions without documentation are actually increasing the tax burden on everyone else. Will it be soon? No, and it will be item by item, not everything at once. First, welfare debit cards. Then stuff like public transit cards that can&#039;t be bought with cash and are themselves fully tracked. We don&#039;t want bus drivers killed for the fare box, do we?</p><p><br /></p><p>If they want our income and spending tracked badly enough, all they have to do is mandate a zero transaction charge debit card that everyone has to use. Will I be harmed? I don&#039;t think so. My income is all taxed now. If someone else&#039;s tax evasion gets slammed, I&#039;m better off.</p><p><br /></p><p>The geeks are leading the way with their Apple Pay on their watches.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
