Protesting the wrong thing

The supposed privacy advocates are directing their energies at protesting the wrong thing. The National Security Agency’s collection and analysis of domestic call data are really innocuous. They do not involve wiretapping or listening to the contents of calls, only number patterns. The hysteria is mostly due to ignorance, and, of course, politicians and lawyers profit from the ignorance of the masses.

Now if people are serious about privacy, they should direct their protests at the tax code and the Infernal Revenue Service. The IRS is the most intrusive beast in the government. Just think about it: in the United States we pay 1/3 of our income to be governed. When we lose control and enjoyment of the fruits of our labor, how are we different from slaves? It is amazing that so many people do not realize this.
