[DoubleDuty]

American Express, Visa, and Mastercard are moving forward with implementing codes that will allow them to track cardholders' gun purchases.

CA today will be across the US tomorrow. Credit card companies should not be tracking and reporting purchases of cardholders.

Credit cards.
The original digital currency.

Yes. I use them.
But less and less as time goes by.

I bought a slice of pie for $3.15 other day at chain eatery, paid with a $5 bill. Confused girl gave me 2 singles and said " I think this is close".

Digital currency is their ultimate goal, then prohibiting what you can purchase.

if you want to give away 2% of every purchase you make.

Me I don't give 2 shits if they track me buying toilet paper.

That kind of thinking is what will defeat us. I don't care if they track - but I'll be damned if I let them. 90% of my transactions are cash whenever possible - and I'll buy elsewhere if they only accept electronic payments.

What's a credit card? Had a couple until somewhere around 1983 or 4.

What if you pay one credit card with another, can we get an endless loop?

I do care if they track me buying toilet paper! First it's tracking toilet paper then controlling how many cheeseburgers I'm allowed to have a week or what shows I'm permitted to view.

Don't give a mouse a cookie... you'll end up sleeping with a camel.

What'll really boil your bananas is when you learn they're now trying to tax cash-back and other credit card rewards as taxable income. Can they just not resist taxing every dollar that moves?

They already considered that and added incredible fees to eliminate that free money loophole. If I could have paid my mortgage with my credit card and made a few bucks I would have. You can pay your property taxes with a credit card and those jerks (at least in Collin county) have a 2.45% convenience fee on top when paying with a credit card!

Isn't this old news? I thought that the new "gun" retail code has been in use for a year or two, since FJB pushed for this. Am I wrong?
