Do Republicans Ever Use Paper Money?
Edited on Sat Apr-01-06 11:49 PM by Boojatta
Would they be willing to eliminate the paper money system and replace it with a system that would force them to register their economic preferences electronically?

Many retailers provide their potential customers with more than one way to pay. The customer chooses one of those payment methods.

Why not let the individual voter decide whether to use the electronic or paper method for casting a ballot? Do Republicans consider that decision to be too important to be left to the individual voter?

2. Nah, they've never been big on choice...
choice of any kind. Look at the resistance to labeling frankenfood, not to mention being able to choose whether or not to continue a pregnancy.

3. Yeah, all the time. They exploit illegal immigrants by paying them under
the table, take out taxes and pocket it.

4. of course they use paper money...
when they are bribing some one, ore using hush money, or smuggling it out of the country, or accepting it under the table from defense contractors or lobbyists.

5. When Republicans don't see a reason to take special precautions
to prevent their economic transactions from being investigated by law enforcement or income tax authorities, do they ever use paper money?
