When credit cards started coming into general use a few decades ago, a columnist wrote about a mate of his who was enthusiastically explaining how he would use his card for everything, then bit the columnist for a coin to buy a paper!

Recently one of our silvertailed politicians was explaining how poor folks could use their ATM cards everytime they visited a doctor who does not bulk bill. I've forgotten his reason for this being easier for them, but he obviously was unaware that Banks do not allow folks with small balances to use their card more than 4 times a month!

SILVERTAIL - almost obsolete term for rich folks who have no idea how the rest of the world lives.
Some years back one of these politicans caught a headline by "living" happily (big smile for camera) for a week on the same amount of money welfare recipients get, but he kept his Dental appointment & paid for it out of his bank balance!

BULK BILL - briefly, the system used by some doctors so that welfare recipients (& others) do not pay for medical treatment because the Dr bills the Govt directly.
