Remember when FDR seized people's savings/gold? Remember what happened in Argentina not so long ago? If you think abolishing cash is a good idea, you need to take a serious look at the history of currency devaluations on confiscations.
I was reading some Isabel Paterson a few days ago. This seems appropriate:
"Never shall we forget the line of women we saw turning in their savings, under threat of 10 years in jail and $10,000 fine, while the multimillionaire Sen. Couzens stood up bravely on the floor of the Senate and promised to 'hunt them down' if they tried to hold out a few dollars."
