Without all the rant and fanfare, just keep telling people to SHUT DOWN THE I.R.S. PERMANENTLY.
in response to:
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
: I'm looking to get into the surveillance business.
: I'm serious.
: And no, not for any creepy, voyeuristic reason — but instead
: for the money.

: You see, there's some serious scratch to be made by those who
: provide the government with phone call data. And according
: to a new Associated Press investigation, some phone
: companies are cleaning up by charging Uncle Sam a pretty
: penny for this service.

: Snip
: Government Spends Millions to Illegally Collect Phone Records
: Busted! Obama Sold Your Privacy for $229,253

: As the AP reports: Verizon charges $775 for the first month of
: a wiretap, then $500 for each additional month.

: Sprint has provided the government with an easy-to-use website
: and a much cheaper fee of $30 a month.

: Cricket charges $250 per wiretap.
: AT&T gets $10 a day following an activation fee of $325.
: My friends, this adds up pretty fast. Verizon has been pulling
: in as much as an extra $5 million a year. And over the time
: span of four years, AT&T has racked up $24 million!

: How Does This Make You Feel?
: Of course, not everyone is happy about the high rates phone
: companies have been charging in an effort to spy on us.

: Hey, I'm all for a free market. But if it's our data,
: shouldn't we be getting a piece of the action, too?

: As far as I'm concerned, if the phone companies want to charge
: the government for access to our phone records, shouldn't
: we also be compensated? After all, there must be some kind
: of value to our right to privacy.

: It really is crazy when you break it down.
: Basically, we're paying the phone company for a service...
: then on the back end, the phone company takes your
: information, sells it to the government for which it gets
: paid handsomely, and the government goes on to use that
: information to violate your right to privacy.

: Oh, and if you're looking for a bit more sting on this one,
: guess where the government gets the money to pay for those
: wiretaps?

: From you, dear taxpayer!
: How does that make you feel?
: You are actually paying the government to spy on you!
