Well on the way to democratic dictatorship... " Now, a senior Federal Reserve official is proposing a plan to impose a "carry tax" on cash using the magnetic strip as a tracking device under certain conditions. At a conference last October, Marvin Goodfriend, a Richmond Fed senior vice president, suggested taxing Federal Reserve notes held by the public "by imbedding a magnetic strip in each bill. The magnetic strip could visibly record when a bill was last withdrawn from the banking system. A carry tax could be deducted from each bill upon deposit according to how long the bill was in circulation since last withdrawn and how much carry tax was 'past due' [in order to stimulate stagnant economic growth in an environment of stable or falling prices and nominal short-term interest rates at or near zero]." house.gov "Globalists" never sleep and you over there better wake up.
