Thread: Louisiana Makes It Illegal To Use Cash For Secondhand Sales

I wonder if this covers only businesses or does it include yard sales and flea markets as well?

just another draconian law that will be next to impossible to enforce!

How would they ever find out if it did cover that? Would they be using surveillance to find people having yard sales or participating in flea markets?

Wow.Mans laws and his ignorance never ceases to amaze me.

Tyranny.

This is another consequence of race-mixing. The legislators were probably convinced that 'terrorists' can get a lot done by buying used stuff, and that those transactions need to be monitored. Well, if we didn't have race-mixing, if we didn't have so many ridiculous populations trying to be near us all the time, we wouldn't have the problems, and we could live free. The Founders understood all that.

Yes, tyranny.

The hour is at hand. Our Founding Fathers would have plenty to say.

The bankers want us to use more credit. They know many of us are going to using only cash.

But this is even more sinister than that. More sinister than trying to get taxes out of everything, too.

It is simply control and out of control.

Read how they controlled the people behind the Iron Curtain.
The moneymasters will have their ways.

Our money is controlled by private interests.

This isn't to go "off-topic" but to show this new law is how we are headed. How the money is not really controlled by the government.

The court ruled that the Federal Reserve Banks are "independent, privately owned and locally controlled corporations", and there is not sufficient "federal government control over 'detailed physical performance' and 'day to day operation'" of the Federal Reserve Bank for it to be considered a federal agency.
Court Rules Fed is Privately Owned

Given that the Federal Government has declared that the money is legal tender for all debts public and private, and that given Lousiana has not and most likely cannot outlaw secondhand sales, this will not stand as it exceeds the state's powers, and in fact can be seen as a radical power grab. It is none the less an indication of the minds of the would be masters.

Yes, they know a lot of us are going to straight cash, no credit, and they can't keep us in credit card prison that way.

They always have an excuse, drugs, etc., but freedom says they can't subject the citizens to totalitarianism in order to control the few.

The Bill of Rights


Article the sixth [Amendment IV]
The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.

Article I Section 8 of the U.S. Constitution reads in part:

The Congress shall have Power To lay and collect Taxes, Duties, Imposts and Excises, to pay the Debts and provide for the common Defence and general Welfare of the United States; but all Duties, Imposts and Excises shall be uniform throughout the United States;

To coin Money, regulate the Value thereof, and of foreign Coin, and fix the Standard of Weights and Measures;

Being that Congress has the right to coin money, that strongly implies that no state legislature has a right to say that the money Congress authorizes is not usable for valid transactions.

Not too sure how they'll be able to enforce this law period.

Some people do make a business out of flea marketing though, that's why I asked that question.

Oh, I wasn't questioning you. I just think it's so ridiculous - I agree with you.

I just figured something out. This bill stops the dealer from buying the goods second hand with cash. He can still sell it second hand for cash. Not saying I agree with it, but that does make more sense.
