Our purchases are already tracked through credit cards, cash registers... everything else. You're here on the Internet and believe me, EVERYONE is spying on you (cookies, what websites you interact with, etc, etc.)
80,000 new armed IRS has me thinking it's not overblown, it's just in the early stages still. They're rapidly tying up loose ends, though.
I know people who work for cash on weekends to suppliment their income. I help my kids when they're in a pinch. Things like that don't get reported as income, but when everything goes computer and their spending excedes their declared income there's going to be a lot of gnashing of teeth.
I expect to see laws requiring stiff penalities for 'gaming the system' to be quietly passed first, though-and perhaps include the loss of real property as we see with some drug laws.
