I feel the same way about socialized medicine. The government would derive an enormous amount of power and control from having a monopoly over the public's access to healthcare.

If your money is in a bank, the bank can take it and invest it and gamble your fortune.  I forgot the ratio of money on hand banks actually had to pay customers back, but it's real low, like 20% or less.

I had to do a little research to get the gist of your reply.  

 







Is this about right?:

Our culture has brainwashed these people into believing that they should not, or can not, or don't even want to stand up for themselves in the face of elements of totalitarianism being implemented.  They accept that the "the government" knows what's best for them and will stand idly by as the State rules their lives.










In the past, I believed that totalitarianism would be something that would have to be forced on "the people".  I've come to realize that "the people" are begging for it.












eta: I read some reviews of the book you mentioned.  It sounds very relevant to 2016, despite being written 20 years ago.

When banks hit negative interest rates, the Gubmint will go to a digital cash concept and outlaw actual cash. You will turn it all in for digital or lose it completely. At that point, the Gubmint will have total control of your money and you. No black market, no non-taxed garage sales, no selling your gun to some stranger, nothing.

I'm sure it will never be used for evil.  Just remember that not long now and SS is going to cut benefits if nothing changes.  If cash is all digital it makes it much easier to control everyone.

I'm sure the IRS won't ever be used as a political attack dog.  I'm sure the FBI will always do it's due diligence against corrupt politicians.  I'm sure the US gov won't ever steal stock from American citizens due to a company being too big to fail.

Yep.

While it may defy any particular persons logic, there are people out there who do not want what you want.  They are not starting with a similar set of personal desires.  Sometimes it is an individual sometimes it is a pretty large swath of a group and becomes a culture.

If various conditions such as their numbers, strength, commitment, intelligence and cohesion come together, you will lose. It is already happening.  Most factions in this country (to include you and I, or by proxy our parents and grandparents) have demanded the government give them something or take something away from someone else. When you want government to do something, you give government power. That snowball just gets bigger and we are all slow fucked until some kind of reset happens.

Large denomination bills are still legal tender and valid.  Banks or the US Treasury will exchange them for current notes at face value, although collectors will pay more.

Gold and silver certificates haven't been voided either.  They are still legal tender and can be exchanged at face value, but can't be redeemed for gold and silver coin.

I'm talking about if both money value and prices all change... basically move one decimal place to the left.

$1 would be worth what $10 was. If prices went UP after this, a $1 soda would effectively cost $10. Nobody would buy them.



It would never happen, but it would be neat to be able to buy things, actual useful things, for a nickel or a couple dimes, or like I mentioned, buy a decent meal on pocket change.
