It's been a thought that's been bothering me for a while.
I had done an experiment. Is it possible to get a well paying job without social security or anything tied to it? This means asking for payment in only cash and things like that.
But, I soon hit a huge wall. Without Social Security number, you cannot:
>Open a bank account
>Be employed (as they have to file with IRS using it)
>Be paid anything above poverty (They need to use bank accounts)
>Obtain a loan (mostly used for sizable purchases like a home)
>Obtain photo ID from state DMV.
It's a curious thing. I'm not saying that Social Security is the mark of the beast, but it's certainly a precursor. All the parts of the system of the antichrist seem to be there.
All that seems to be necessary after that is simply pushing a cashless society and putting to death anyone that doesn't have it. And that second part is looking more and more realistic as some cops are known to outright kill people without ID or do not produce a social security number.
As for a cashless society, we see India attempting that right now, along with Finland attempting guaranteed income.
It's a dangerous world we live in now.
Any other thoughts?
