Excerpt:
Families who live in desirable areas face massive increases in local taxes under a “Big Brother†scheme. Taxes will now be rated based on the following criteria (these are a few of the 287 factors to be considered);
- How many neighbors wear contact lenses
- How many vegetarians live nearby
- Which sports are watched
- Which charities they donate to
- The size of their phone bills
- The number of cars
- Whether they pay credit card balances in full
- Whether they invest in trust funds
- If they own garage door openers
- If they are considering switching gas or electric supplier
- If they are considering making a will
- If they suffer from back pain
Such a program could not be put into place if it weren’t for the massive data banks being accumulated on our every actions, from shopping at the super market to those incredibly invasive census surveys.
