Moving in a slightly different direction to parts of this thread
http://www.omegaowners.com/forum/YaBB.pl?num=1295177920I mentioned the government being a "Management" team and all so far all have done something wrong.
The biggest problem as well as managing funds (Tax, Vat and Councel Tax etc) is collecting them.
Everyone wants something for nothing, coupla quid here and there, the odd fiver, having the odd night out on the £20/50 earned for doing a favour that day.
Imagine if we were made into a cashless society and everything was done by way of credits. (silicone chip implants have been mentioned over the years as ID, plus banking methods - allthough the real reason was probably traking purposes, I believe they wanted to start implanting them into babies when there was a problem with new borns being stolen from hospitals )
All the supermarkets and big business, internet buying and mostly done electronically. But how many cash businesses are making "a bit extra"
I have been to a casino a couple of times and was amazed how many foreign nationalites were there that owned take away food outlets, I had a distict feeling they were not using thier wages. Lester Pigot was locked up for tax dodgeing. People use red derv rather than pay for proper fuel, companies fiddle vat returns, the list is endless.
But where ever there is cash involved there is risk of greed and the fact that some one doesnt want to pay thier way.
But just imagine if that cashless society were to happen over night. I would imagine there would be mass suicide as there would 1000's of people in this country alone that couldnt spend thier ill gotton gains.
