Uh huh. Causing the U.S. sanctions, Foreign Assets Control, and taxation regime to fall over overnight because the populace et al will refuse refuse to implement AML/KYC/OFAC/IRS reporting.
In short, what you propose is the complete dismantling of most of the U.S. regulatory state. Which, of course, the bureaucrats will assuredly take in stride.
In The Third Wave, Alvin Toffler describes three types of societies, based on the concept of "waves"—each wave pushes the older societies and cultures aside. He describes the "First Wave" as the society after agrarian revolution and replaced the first hunter-gatherer cultures. The "Second Wave," he labels society during the Industrial Revolution (ca. late 17th century through the mid-20th century). That period saw the increase of urban industrial populations which had undermined the traditional nuclear family, and initiated a factory-like education system, and the growth of the corporation. Toffler said:
The Second Wave Society is industrial and based on mass production, mass distribution, mass consumption, mass education, mass media, mass recreation, mass entertainment, and weapons of mass destruction. You combine those things with standardization, centralization, concentration, and synchronization, and you wind up with a style of organization we call bureaucracy.
The "Third Wave" was a term he coined to describe the post-industrial society. For features of Third Wave see
