how can the guy not have a credit rating? doesn't he use a bank? You can get a credit rating from having a bank account too. especially checking accounts.

There is a very wealthy man in Colorado by the name of Tom Shane. He owns many jewelry stores but always paid for things in cash. He went in to a car dealership and talked to my best friend about buying a car. His credit report came back as a decline because he had no credit. They had to make some phone calls to get it through. Although he had bought many cars at that particular dealership, he always paid cash. It doesn't matter how much money you have, just what your credit score is these days. The days of, "my word is stronger than oak", are over. The new motto is, "what have you done for me lately."

God bless.

I went to a bank once to cash a check given to me by a person who had an account at that particular bank. They told me I had to have two forms of ID. I gave them my drivers license and my debet card (which says Visa on it, but it's not a credit card). They wouldn't accept it. Those are the only two forms I have (except my Social Security Card - which they don't consider valid ID ?????). They told me I had to have a valid Credit Card. I'd never heard that before last year! It's a relatively new bank in our area. I've never had that problem at the regular banks... I'm wondering if this is going to be the trend of the future, leading way into the RFID chip - whops the government doesn't like the term RFID anymore

I heard about something on talk radio a couple/few months ago that goes along with this thought process somewhat.

It had to do with a proposed gas tax. The tax would be paid according to how many miles you drive. Those who drive more, pay more. Those who drive less, pay less. The only real "fair" way to do it, right?

Here's the kicker. In order to know how much to tax you, a tracking device is placed in each car. It would be mandatory of course.

I wish I could remember more detail, but it was a while ago when I heard it. I do remember that the "expert" that was being interviewed thought that within 10 years it would spread to all states. I think maybe they're experimenting with it somewhere on the west coast. Oregon maybe?

Whether this will actually happen is anyone's guess, but one way or another, the gov't will figure out a way to track our every move - for our own good of course!
