A cashless society means your bank – and the US government – controls every penny you own and every purchase you make. They can freeze your account at will, leaving you destitute with just a few taps on a keyboard.

As Ron Paul said, "The cashless society is the IRS' dream: total knowledge of, and control over, the finances of every single American."

Now you may ask, why? Simple answer, because cash is anonymous and almost impossible to track — so Uncle Sam cannot control it.

The move towards a cashless, controlled state has been in motion for decades. If you travel by air, you have experienced this first hand. "Cashless cabins" are the rule on nearly all airlines. Every glass of wine, extra cushion or headset must be purchased on credit. Every transaction is tracked, every purchase made subject to interest being tacked on to the principle.
