[Its all about keeping a record of what you spend per year, versus what you report to the IRS as income. The NSA has every phone call you made and every e-mail you sent, so keeping that in mind, how is it that you bought 1.5 million in goods and services last year but only reported a total $28,000 in income from welfare benefits and food stamps?

So not only is the government collecting your phone records and (possibly) reading your emails, they’re also tracking your shopping habits. What kind of Orwellian nightmare is this? "
