This is garbage! I have been a Saks credit card holder since 1966. I have NOT gotten this supposed notification.

So the threshold was 10,000 before PA and now 2k. Before the PA there were a lot of 9,999.99 transactions. This lowers the bar and makes it harder to launder money. 10k or 2k, what is the difference? Does not bother me. We are at war, but we forget that.

"This isn't about terrorism,it's about tightening the noose on our freedoms."
Exactly. This is not about "catching terrorists." It's about collecting taxes and trying to get any funds that might be slipping thru the cracks, and about keeping tabs on who has what money.
A national retail sales tax would solve this problem, but then our govt would not be allowed to snoop into our private finances, would they?

I can't tell if he's far, far left or far, far right - it's getting hard to tell the two apart any more...

It is illegal to NOT accept U.S. Currency for payment of a debt in the U.S.. Don't the bills have something like "this note legal tender for all debts public and private"?
To: KeyWest
We are at war, but we forget that. What would a terrorist be buying at SAKS?
To: big ern
Good point! and........
I live in Texas and I see people paying with a wad of $100 bills all the time. Usually the poorest looking people have lots of cash. They don't look like terrrorists. I think they are too poor to have a bank account, and often they have just come here from Mexico. I assume they have a job and they just got paid. I usually see them at WalMart paying for their groceries. So now these people are going to be suspected terrorists.... insane!
