Eichmann, (who today would be a center of the road Democrat, working as sales support staff for Exxon, and takes a job with the Feds in HHS), was a clerk. Recall that all he did was make sure 9,000,000 units got on the correct trains, that the trains were maintained, that they arrived when and where.... That was with paper, pencil, filing cabinets. Think of what he could have done with a single laptop and Excel.
9,000,000 units, or logs, or untermench, sorted out, teased away, shipped out, from the entire population of Europe, for processing. And they all trooped, naked, into the sealed rooms, convinced that it wouldn't, couldn't happen.
Just remember, next time you start thinking, "it can't, it won't...", It has happened, it will happen, again. Your's and my handles on reality, the can and can't, is heavily greased, and there are people who desperately want to take the whole belief construct away from you.
Screw it, I'm gonna get some more .308 Winchester ammo.
Dang, that was pretty good!
>>>> My point is that the technology, in a shirt pocket sized box, already exists. <<<<<<
With all due respect, no, the technology most certainly does not exist.
I keep my TomTom in my briefcase, but the TomTom in my briefcase most certainly does not include the technology or infrastructure to track and produce tax bills for 250 million personal vehicles.
As I keep saying, it would take 10++ years and many billions of dollars to build the federal IT infrastructure to support this more-than-dubious tax proposal (which as noted above has already been squashed for the moment).
Ask anyone who does federal IT contracting.
