U.S. News and World Report noted yesterday:
[The IRS] will use in robo-audits and data mining [and] it has told government and industry groups that its computers are capable of scanning multiple networks at the same time to collect “matching” comprehensive profiles for every taxpayer in America. Such profiles will likely include shopping records, travel, social interactions and information not available to the public, such as health records and files from other government investigators, according to IRS documents.

Don't forget about your crazy cousin and in-laws.
I remember thinking back in the 90’s that the debit card was the Mark of the Beast. Once they enact this, you will be required to use them.
They can’t keep track of expired student visa so what makes anyone think they will track illegals.
I am a little old white lady; hence, for the rest of my life, my vulnerability in public and in my home will only increase. For much of my adult life, I lived in a city and learned not to carry large amounts of cash, because even when I was young and athletic, I was mugged on the street several times and my home was broken into twice.
Now I'm thinking it might not be a bad idea to carry cash and avoid leaving an electronic trail. If you have a lot of cash to give a mugger, maybe he won't kill you. But the government will skin you alive.
In my area store cards are not verified. I put in TV character names or cartoon characters and a bogus address and phone number. Plus I absolutely refuse to shop in any stores that require membership fees.
How is this different that a hacker from China?
I tried to come up with a smart answer to your question but couldn’t think of anything.
It’ll keep moving as long as people believe man-made law is the alpha and omega of public morals...
Brilliant point, thanks!
That’s funny about the names. My mom’s last name was Heriford and very different from mine. My grandson was with me one time when we bought groceries and the name on the card prints out on the receipt so the young man said, “Thank you Mrs. Heriford”. When we got to the car, my grandson said, “Who’s Mrs. Heriford?”
