Coming to a totalitarian state near you. Very near.
I’m amazed Husein hasn’t instructed his IRS gnomes to do this over here. I’m sure it’s part of his “tax plan”.
Already here in the US.
I have talked to IT consultants who worked on a top-secret project for the NY State Dept. of Revenue. It uses data mining techniques to identify online purchases of NY residents (as well as those made at out-of-state malls) to go after them for the sales tax.
The guys who worked on this project called it (and I am quoting verbatim)...”Eliot Spitzer’s Wet Dream”.
Dave Ramsey is right again. Don’t use credit cards. Cash is the only way to do business when the government is monitoring credit card traffic.
Nothing to fear, citizens.
Cash is King.
Neither a borrower nor a lender be.
Yeah, riiiight. If they were interested in illegal tax avoidance, they'd crosscheck a couple of million bottom feeders as well. But it looks like they're just going after the "1%" -- well, maybe 10% -- only scrutinizing small businessmen, the wealthy, and children who inherited what, in their envious and covetous estimation, is "too much" money. Big time dope dealers skate.
If they get too cute here, the taxmen will get lead instead of silver and gold.
