If they refuse payment, walk out. Make sure you have a recording. They would not take legal tender. Theynare supposed to. They cannot refuse lefal money to pay a bill.
You tried to pay, they refused. If the wont take your offered legal payment, thats it, the debt it voided.
Sue them if they persist. The government cannot make money that says it is good for all debts, then write laws that say you cannot use that money to pay certain debts.
Recall that our vaunted potential Speaker of the House is from...... Wisconsin. More of the electronic progressive agenda.
Cash is king in a world of plastic. This “law” is disavowed by the actual laws of the country in which our cash money, currency is LEGAL tender for all debts— as printed on the bills.
Next you know, I’ll be hearing an amicable exchange of X for Y amount of ‘work/labor’ is defined, by govt, as a construct we’ll call, oh, I don’t know: ‘income’...or that govt can dictate, w/out the contractor nor contractee’s permission, a minimum amount of $$ (which is, again, dictated, and CREATED by, the same govt) to be paid for this contract.
That’s only true on Federal Notes.
The ‘Federal’ Reserve creates fictional fractional ‘money’ out of fairy dust, and sells it to the Treasury.
‘Bout as illegal and unconstitutional as the gold confiscation of the 20’s, the dropping off of the gold standard, the....
The People, through the States, have never authorized Congress to ‘hand-off’ their money minting functions to any non-govt entity, nor authorize anything BUT gold/silver to be legal tender.
Wholly molly!
Regulation =/= ‘total control thereof’. It, like the 2nd, simply means ‘in working order’, ‘equal among’ and standardized.
Course, that was before we ceased being a Republic (some would say 1913, some would say Spring 1865).
The courts, nay, ANY lawyer, wouldn’t know their ass from their elbow when it comes to the clear and plain English of our Founding documents.
CitiBank wants to ban cash so that you can't get your money out of their bank and protect your assets from the imposition of "negative interest rates" AKA stealing your money. The banks in Cyprus stole 80% of their depositors cash. US banks want the same option to steal. Dodd-Frank has given them the means and opportunity. It's just a matter of a trigger event...like an interest rate hike.
FWIW:
A lot of places won’t take cash, like for apartment rentals. They don’t want you walking in to pay your $1000 rent with 10 $100’s. Multiply that by 300 apartments on the first of the month and you’ve got a problem just waiting to happen.
Of course, you agree not to pay in cash when you sign your lease.
I don’t get it! What do they expect to achieve by this? Is this some attempt to curb the illicit drug trade by insuring that there is a a written record as to where the payments are coming from? Lots of good comments follow the article.
FReep Mail me if you want on, or off, this Wisconsin interest ping list.
This bill is also predatory.
If a practice has both insured and uninsured patients what if the practice took a cash copay or deductible from an insured patient that had been dropped from their insurance company so that now they are really uninsured for a period of time. This is not a rare occurrence and it would cost the practice $1000 per day. Perfect for a predatory bureaucracy. Think you can trust the government not to do such a thing?
