Isn&#x27;t in wonderful that the government is monitoring our transactions, to protect us?<p>I had to live off of savings for an extended period of time, after they locked out a significant portion of small businesses from participating in the economy in 2020. The FTB, California&#x27;s version of the IRS, noticed the unusual activity activity on my account, of me still paying my mortgage, despite not getting any income, and were nice enough to send me a bill asking for tens of thousands of dollars, because it&#x27;s really difficult to live off of savings, so surely I owe them taxes for something.

Maybe if they behaved properly the government wouldn’t need to monitor them?
