Title: UK Proposes All Paychecks Go to the State First Post by: Anonymous on September 21, 2010, 08:26:09 AM http://www.cnbc.com/id/39265847 (http://www.cnbc.com/id/39265847)
How would you hide anything from the state under such a system? What if all cash was withdrawn from circulation and you could only pay for things electronically? Title: Re: UK Proposes All Paychecks Go to the State First Post by: em3rgentOrdr on September 21, 2010, 08:49:35 AM I read that article today too. All I can say is this is a great opportunity to focus on exposing people living in the UK to bitcoin...and some foundational Agorist literature (http://www.agorism.info/NewLibertarianManifesto.pdf) as well...
Title: Re: UK Proposes All Paychecks Go to the State First Post by: The Madhatter on September 21, 2010, 03:03:15 PM This article is your typical "test balloon". Now they just need a reason (right tragedy) to get the UK citizens to accept this proposal with open arms.
The next step will be the phasing out of cash, and perhaps (in the not so distant future) watching for illegal barter with all of those flippin' cameras they have all over the place. :P Title: Re: UK Proposes All Paychecks Go to the State First Post by: FreeMoney on September 21, 2010, 05:31:01 PM http://www.cnbc.com/id/39265847 (http://www.cnbc.com/id/39265847) How would you hide anything from the state under such a system?

I suspect nearly every country still has cash because if you get rid of it a non-state alternative will pop up so fast. They'd rather have us hoarding their tokens.

Oh, you mean something like a digital commodity that could be printed out and transferred just as easily in person as online? ;) Title: Re: UK Proposes All Paychecks Go to the State First Post by: jgarzik on September 21, 2010, 06:09:11 PM UK'ers can buy bitcoins with GlobalDigitalPay GBP at The Bitcoin Store (https://bitcoinstore.yyz.us/).

Title: Re: UK Proposes All Paychecks Go to the State First Post by: WhiteBeard on September 17, 2017, 03:22:31 PM Looks like the original article has been taken down. Our mainstream media doing it's best...
So anyway somebody posted a full copy. Thanks for the non-mainstream media! http://solomonstemple.com/2010/09/uk-proposes-all-paychecks-go-to-the-state-first/ Title: Re: UK Proposes All Paychecks Go to the State First Post by: sumanto on September 21, 2017, 01:05:56 PM wow Anonymous author? :o how can ?
