Rank Invasions of Privacy tracking salaries and underpants

Last week we learned that Obama "Backs Bill to Collect Employee Pay Information from Businesses." “ The Obama administration is backing legislation  that includes regulations requiring U.S. businesses to provide to the government data about employee pay as it relates to the sex, race and national origin of employees ” He calls it the "Paycheck Fairness Act."  Of course we know by now that any legislation containing the word "fairness" means redistribution of wealth  or, as Karl Marx more succinctly put it in his Democrat Party Manifesto, "From each according to his abilities, to each according to his needs."  Knowing Obama as we now do, his motive here may be further refined to read "REPARATIONS."  The good thing is that the United States has a long history of sending armies to stop communist aggression, and neutralize its leaders. Here's another insidious example of how easily our privacy is being compromised.  Wal-Mart Installing Permanent ID Tags to Track Jeans and Underwear “ Wal-Mart Stores Inc. plans to roll out sophisticated electronic ID tags to track individual pairs of jeans and underwear, the first step in a system that advocates say better controls inventory but some critics say raises privacy concerns. Starting next month, the retailer will place removable "smart tags" on individual garments that can be read by a hand-held scanner. Wal-Mart workers will be able to quickly learn, for instance, which size of Wrangler jeans is missing, with the aim of ensuring shelves are optimally stocked and inventory tightly watched. If successful, the radio-frequency ID tags will be rolled out on other products at Wal-Mart's more than 3,750 U.S. stores. While the tags can be removed from clothing and packages, they can't be turned off, and they are trackable. Some privacy advocates hypothesize that unscrupulous marketers or criminals will be able to drive by consumers' homes and scan their garbage to discover what they have recently bought. ” Un Believeble!
