It is completely inappropriate for the government to force people to give up their privacy and share so much with a third party. And it is completely unethical for this company, Id.me, to pursue it. I already am able to use banks and other devices successfully without this service, and I used the IRS website fine as well. Why do this? It smells a lot like corruption.

The spend cycle can slow if we radically reduce federal spending/income. Move truly necessary services to the States. That won't happen, so opt out. Structure your life to avoid qualifying as a person who files a return.
