WARNING

When U.S. Chief Justice John Marshall delivered the Supreme Court ruling in the 1819 case of McCullough vs. Maryland, he declared that no state could hold the right to tax the federal government.  The logic applied, which remains on our laws to this day, was quite succinctly expressed by his words:   “The power to tax is the power to destroy.”

Jumping to the present day, we find people blithely choosing to register often manifold credit card numbers with internet vendors galore.  Accordingly, such  persons are leaving themselves wide open to charges,  whether authorized or otherwise.  We sincerely urge that heed be taken of Mr. Justice Marshall’s sound advice, duly rephrased in 21^st century fashion, by stating that:  “The power to debit is the power to bankrupt.”
