Professor Brian Brenberg, an Executive Vice President and Associate Professor of Business at Kings College, discussed Joe Biden’s new tax and spy plan with Tucker Carlson this evening. The plan will direct the IRS to spy on bank accounts on anyone who makes transactions of as little as $600. They’ll know every deposit, withdrawal, how Americans spend their money.
Professor Brenberg called it the “seed corn of the surveillance state.” They will use the bank as a tool of the government.
Banks are pushing back against it. They know people will stop using banks.
How Americans spend their money will tell the government all they need to know about our lives so they can control it.

Biden believes as previous Democrats, taxing creates prosperity. They never put forth policies that are actual job creation engines. Their answer to failure in the results is needing a “magic wand”. Trump was the first “Politician” that thought in Macroeconomics terms, probably because he was an international builder. And being a builder gave him insight how the broader economic system… Read more »
Sorry to burst your bubble, but G.W. Bush started the surveillance state. He was an even worse president than Obama…if possible.
Actually, the big move to electronic surveillance was by Bush 41 with ECHELON. It was Bill Clinton who turned ECHELON on the Internet. Google was given research money by the Government. The CIA saw “Net Crawlers” as a great Idea that would allow them to stay at arms length when spying on Americans. Today if you have a Smartphone, the… Read more »
I would say rather that we have entered upon the completion of the Surveillance State. It began with the Sixteenth Amendment and the Internal Revenue Act. It’s been tightening down on us ever since. The final strokes will be ubiquitous cameras on all public streets and inside all “public accommodations,” the elimination of cash, the criminalization of barter, and the… Read more »
Imagine the loses to the Banks when people move back to a cash economy. The Banks will lose their 3% per transaction. People in Red States have been using Cash more and more for years. The use of “credit cards” not only make it easy for the IRS to track your spending, but it adds 3% of overhead to your… Read more »
I like the way you think. If only we could make such things happen without having go to war against the deluded, gullible half of our Nation, who are entirely misled and deceived by the MSM and its controlling corporate-owned politicians/liars. The problem with the notion of civil war is, we Americans are so comfortable (as the global elite overlords… Read more »
I thought about that 17th Amendment some time ago. What I’ve come to realize is it’s a way for both the State and the Federal to shirk responsibility to the other. If it’s something they don’t want to deal with they pass the buck back and forth and you have no recourse, unless it some national type issue. So, when… Read more »
The government does not work for you, you work for the government. If you do not believe this is true, try not paying taxes.
You can’t have a cashless economy if the government does away with cash…. that has been discussed for many years. We are almost there and we have no choice. If they kill physical currency they control us and can take it all way anytime they want. Everything this presidents administration and the puppet masters behind the veil are doing is… Read more »
“Yes, we did produce a near-perfect republic. But will they keep it? Or will they, in the enjoyment of plenty lose the memory of freedom? Material abundance without character is the path of destruction.” – Thomas Jefferson
the car’s on fire and there’s no driver at the wheel and the sewers are all muddied with a thousand lonely suicides and a dark wind blows the government is corrupt and we’re on so many drugs with the radio on and the curtains drawn we’re trapped in the belly of this horrible machine and the machine is bleeding to… Read more »
