I am routinely startled by how many normal people in the US think this is a good way to proceed.
It's not that hard to convince most people.
Simply tell them that all the others aren't "doing their bit," are a burden to you, society, and national security. Oh, and probably the children too.

Brave New World, more like it.
If only someone could invent a drug, or a machine, or a screen, that makes us feel as good and suggestive as soma

Yay! We've reached the point where tax authorities define illicit or nefarious transactions as all those transactions they don't know about (or don't have enough details about).
I am routinely startled by how many normal people in the US think this is a good way to proceed. They seem shocked when I express concern that the government requires reporting on such a wide swath of transactions. As long as the government doesn't make any sudden moves and just continues to slowly increase surveillance and control, I don't believe society will put up much resistance at all to our happy new 1984 lifestyle.
