I think that the movement toward debit cards and away from cash is a deliberate attack on the poor. The poor, more than any other people, rely on cash, in the form of change (particularly SPARE change). As fewer and fewer people carry cash, casual charity decreases also. That applies for canvassers, who knock on people's doors in support of charity, and who once might have gotten a dollar from a house in which there is now no cash. It applies for buskers and panhandlers, who depend on the casual generosity of strangers for their subsistance.
Interac is clearly a plot against the poor.

Interesting Paul. I've also said that it means less money on the collection plate --- from which we draw to give to local and far away responses .... One point is the money isn't in the pocket to give and second point is that it takes away the opportunity of giving spontaneously.
Don't know if it's a conspiracy but it has impacted stewardship of what we have. Linda P.
