And it goes well beyond technology, I’ve long felt that the biggest problem with income tax wasn’t the tax itself but the audacity that anyone needed to know what my private income was, let alone to treat me differently under the law based on my income.
The 4th amendment was penned back when you would have had to physically search my house or business for paperwork to learn anything about my financial books, I really believe that the original authors intended for me to mind my own business and the government and everyone else to mind theirs.
Freedom was free agency to exist and thrive in the land, unmolested and protected from encroachment from others by the government, rather than being a subject of the nation and a pawn of the government.
Taxes were something taken at ports during import/export, now not only is the representative system turned upside down but the federal tax collectors have turned inward.
The federal government was suppose to be an entity of management for external foreign relationships and mediation between states, now it’s getting close to mandating individuals to which private bathrooms they are allowed to invade.
