Just Uncle Fed conditioning the serfs to accept the Mark o' the Beast. When people are allowed to carry cash, why they can go just about anywhere and buy anything, but if you have to run your card or your tattoo through a scanner, well, the folks who run the system can track your every more and shut you down for whatever reason is politically expedient.

Maybe Uncle Fed doesn't want you buying any more Micky D burgers. Maybe Uncle Fed wants you to eat ONLY Micky D burgers. The built-in capacity for tyranny and abuse is a 100% guarantee that it will be used to control the serfs.

it is even worse than that. The income tax gives an excuse for the government to collect all sorts of personal information. They know where you work, how much you make, how much overtime you have, where you live, which bank has your mortgage, how much you have left on your mortgage, how much charitable giving you do, where you give to charity, what the charity you give to stands for, etc, etc.

Remember the Fed and the income tax were put in place at about the same time and this has been anything but a free country since then.
