Cash isn’t just money — it’s freedom. In this video, Dr. Jon Padfield explains the War on Cash and why powerful forces in Big Finance, Big Business, and Big Government all want to eliminate your ability to pay with cash.
You’ll learn:
• Why credit card companies profit when you stop using cash
• How businesses push cashless payments to increase impulse spending
• Why government agencies want to track every dollar you spend
• The real dangers of a cashless society
• How two bipartisan bills (H.R. 1138 and S. 2326) could protect your right to use cash
• Specific, actionable steps you can take to support these bills and protect your freedom
📢 Please share this video with friends, family, and co-workers. If we lose cash, we lose a major piece of privacy and independence.
