The actual danger is that you’re creating a system where the government will have the power to tell you what you can spend your money on.

The government already has the power to tell you where (local vs bank transfer) and what (taxes, fines) you must spend your money on.
Favors, trust, and reputation cannot be taxed.

Exactly this, and track every last cent you've spent, and where.
