Here's why we won't see a cashless society

Everyone seems worried our government, and the rest of the world, is subversively guiding us, forcing us, driving us like cattle to a slaughterhouse, towards a cashless society.  I'm confident this won't happen, and here are the two reasons:

#1. Every government uses slush-funds for covert operations, and they don't want to leave a paper/electronic trail.  Presidents, the CIA, you name it, they need untraceable cash to carry out all of their actions that pay for secrete deals and actions -- far beyond what we dream up with our conspiracy theories.

#2. More importantly, a cashless society will spur people to a better, fairer economic system which would be nearly impossible to tax, that being the barter system.   You will see more and more people bartering and trading in a cashless society, and it's hard for the government to take their share when there is no currency being exchanged.  

Don't worry about the lack of change next time you go through the drive thru, now you have my two cents...
