The government would love to see a cash less system. I remember when I was in school ( a long time ago) and they talked about eventually not using money. Personally I don't believe it will happen for a long time if it ever does. Too many people are afraid that the government will have too much control, being able to monitor your every move. " John bought 2 packs of cigarettes, a bottle of Scotch, some propane and some fertilizer" Fed guy " maybe we ought to check him out". Even though it could be all innocent. Cigs just because he likes to smoke. Scotch because he likes to have a drink now and then. Fertilizer for the garden and propane for the grill to cook some burgers after working on the garden...

Mac, not to mention that they can keep track of your income by keeping track of your spending. Geeze, this guy spent 20k that was in his account and only claimed 15k income. He's been doing that a couple of years now and doesn't show much for debt. Audit time! Cash is as much of the barter system as goods or traded labor. It's all taxable but without it (barter) our economy would collapse. Uncle Sam just wants to be the middle-man.
