On the one hand tax authorities say it's okay to use chain analysis tools, it's okay to share and collect personal data from foreign countries, and that data hacks are encouraged because it's illegal to destroy customer data...

But then on the other hand, tax authorities demand a declaration of holdings because they don't actually know what you purchased or if you lost it. Because if they do know what you have, why the fuck can't they automatically fill in the details themselves and send out the appropriate bills? Even better, they can just take the tax due directly from your bank account, because why not?

What they want is to, on the one hand, know what you buy and sell, but not tell you they know, because this way they can declare perjury as the illegal act. "You lied and we can prove it", so why the fuck did you ask me?

Only scumbags of the highest order can operate this way.
