In Ace on The River, Barry Greenstein writes about the IRS investigating him for structuring because he deposited $9,000 in his bank to pay bills.
In the 1980's, $9,000 was like 10% of the average home price. Now it's the minimum monthly income required for a first time home buyer with a 10% down payment to obtain a mortgage.
According to the CPI, a home in 1982 should cost $289,063 today, but the median price of a home is $462,000.
All this surveillance is just a tool for Cantillionares to get more fiat out of the monetary spigot. They don't give a damn about The People.
