I'm just paying them all $1,000 a month until I get them paid down.
I use my AMEX cards to do business (last big purchase was camera gear and an HD on cam monitor and a pretty bad ass 10 grand computer for rendering video), so just paying them off completely isn't really in the cards.
But yeah...since that happened I've only used them in times of "emergency" as I continue to pay them down.

That's true. If you're like me...I already negotiate everything I can. From doctors, to dentists, to car repair, etc.
I ask them for a "cash" price. They subtract the sales tax and a nice percentage more (since it's also money under the table for their business).
So that's already prevalent on sales tax.
But so is people cheating on their taxes and also ALL of us deducting everything we can think of.
I still think it would bring in more federal revenue (even though I don't think they need more...I think they need to stop spending)
