Another incremental step - regulation of cash

[T.Lex]

Surprised no one has cross posted this from Drudge, yet.

Second Hand Dealer Law - Acadiana's News Leader

House bill 195 basically says those who buy and sell second hand goods cannot use cash to make those transactions, and it flew so far under the radar most businesses don't even know about it.

Basically, in the name of making it "easier" for the police to get clues about fencing stolen property, they narrowed down cash transactions.

"When they came for the second-hand dealers...."

Huh. My cash says "This note is legal tender for all debts, public and private".

On the surface this seems to be a violation of Article 1 Section 10 of the US Constitution.

[Scutter01]

the US Constitution.

The what, now? Seems I've heard that term before, but it's been so long.

You think if someones selling stolen property, they are going to ask for a check or credit card number and NOT except cash? lol??

But it's to keep them safe. What manner of Constitutional freedom can compare to SAFETY?

It's this really old piece of paper that used to be taught in schools and the Obama is using as doormat. He walks on it every chance he gets.

Right? They will just unload it to someone else on something like Craig's List, and then when that person goes to sell it get charged for Possession of Stolen Property, and possibly the actual theft...

Oh, brother. The systematic dismantling of that venerable document began well before our illustrious President was even born. He's just continuing the legacy.

Which President hasn't?

While he is A culprit, most of the rest of the government is guilty of all but burning it as well.

William Henry Harrison?

 

[shibumiseeker]

William Henry Harrison?

Good point. Minimal damage you can do in a month while you're sick.

That's about as minimal as your government can get, I think. Almost total incapacitation.

I was simply pointing out it's present location and use as to refresh Scutter's memory....

Which President hasn't?

Washington, Jefferson, William Henry Harrison, James Monroe, and I would even go as far as Grover Cleveland, but I am only halfway through the book, so I reserve the right to retract him later.

 

[Constructionist]

Worry not, comrades. Soon they'll have our personal identity microchips ready for implantation and we won't need such archaic devices as cash, drivers licenses, bank accounts, medical files, etc.

Washington's use of the military against the people in the Whiskey Rebellion didn't disqualify him?

Washington - Whiskey Rebellion
Jefferson - Tripled the size of goveernment during his term
William Henry Harrison died 30 days after his inauguration. Not enough time on the job to rate.
Monroe - The Monroe Doctrine.
Grover Cleveland - nothing comes to mind off the top of my head, but 10 minutes of research would change that.

Every President has trampled the Constitution to some degree during their presidency.
