Scary Political Prediction of 2004 Now Coming True

ok ...

my two cents ...btw, it really is invigorating with yall on this site...so many 'personalities' involved , and I have each of you personified...hair color, height, etc....betcha most of you do too...

michael,
you are living in a dream world all ready ....any person with any type of credit history or any license or owning any real estate is ALL READY in the system...for 50 bux I can discover most of the details of your life...or anyone else's...from right here on the computer.

the part about the 'aliens' in the US...is a tough one for me. The legal ones should have access to all the benefits of being a citizen the same as the rest of us. The illegals...as the name implies, should be treated as the criminals they are, and exported. It feels to me the same as I felt about the abortion issue...who could possibly choose to murder a baby instead of allowing the little one to live ? very few, so what happened was the pros for abortion quit arguing that issue, and started arguing the issue of WHEN the fetus was an actual 'being"..re labeled the discussion.

on the other hand, the gubment pays extra for all those extra babies...babies who grow up in poverty and ghettos and apartment complex that would rival any jail.

same with the identity ...where are the lines ? boundaries to cross ? like your country with the guns, doesnt work does it ? Having had a couple of encouters with unsavory kids who were armed, I can tell you from first hand experience that , had I NOT be armed, I would have been beat and battered...and ,as it was, I managed to convince them that 'at least ONE of you is going to get shot....so , whoever that is, step up'.

hardly , what one envisions as a peaceful society.

kind got off subject here...but any time the govt instigates a policy such as the Patriot act, or gun control, or anti smoking...you can count on the further degradation of privacy ...it never ends until the people want it to end.

thanks

Bob,

Thanks for jumping in.

you are living in a dream world all ready

I think, so correct me if I am wrong, you are hinting that I am living in a made up fantasy world of unreality, right? And not a wonderful country people Dream about coming to. So I'll address the second part as I think you're accusing me of...

any person with any type of credit history or any license or owning any real estate is ALL READY in the system...for 50 bux I can discover most of the details of your life...or anyone else's...from right here on the computer.

Bob, I am NOT disputing that the gummit already has many files available to it, which reveal much about me. Anything with a license/permit requirement sees my details on their system - car, boat, real estate. However, as it now stands, I can use CASH to buy whatever I want that does not require such record keeping, and NO-ONE knows I've got it.

The store might record the sale of a TV, but not to WHO. No-one knows what TV I own, or how many, nor how much *I* paid for them, nor when. No-one knows my Lifestyle Spending Habits when I buy with Cash.

In a cashless society, where transactions are carried out by fingerprint scanning, ALL my transactions are recorded and collated next to my name. Thus the Privacy I had when doing business with cash, is gone. And ALL my spending - not just stuff that involved govt licensing/permit requiremens - is available to be seen by Govt officials - and others who know how to access it. As the only way for it ALL to work across the board is for my fingerprint scan to be in a Central computer.

See he difference? Currently, what can be found out about me is limited to govt records forced upon me when buying those certain items. BUT, with fingerprint scanning, a central computer database is needed and ALL transactions are thus recorded.

Oh... by the way... stun guns and pepper spray for personal protection, is also illegal in this Country. Only the police may have such things. And carrying a knife for protection is Also illegal in his country. Of course, only law Abiding Citizens disarm themselves.

thanks michael..

yep ..I do see the difference ....only point I waas trying to make...not ACCUSE you ...was that the gummit will just ake any additional step it needs to take to be able to follow YOUR money ...

changing the currency design....forcing retailers to record sales of items over 100 bux...eliminating larger denominations of currency ...all steps to follow you ..and me...

know this is NOT happending at the moment but just wait and see ...

the CASH underground economy is a definite target of the govt.

thanks again ...
bob

Bob,

Thanks for adding some more.

the CASH underground economy is a definite target of the govt

Our govt created a Goods and Services Tax (GST) of 10%. So an item that Used to sell for $100 would now sell for $110. And to figure out how much GST is on any item you buy, divide the sale price by 11.

Anyway. This GST ALSO applied to Services - lawn guys, plumbers, electricians, etc. So a $400 job would now be a $440 job.

Well, instead of Capturing More Tax from service people, it drove them underground more. So now they are More Willing to do a deal - as long as you do Not require paperwork.

That $400 plumbing job is now $380 without a receipt of work done. And so on. The gummit created this "Black Economy". And they are also the ones to Name it as if it is something Bad. Interesting.
