It's very simple. The government believes that it should have insight into every single financial transaction, with no exceptions. If you reject this, and demand the same assurances that were completely standard for cash pre-1970, you are considered a criminal
Currently, banks are required to report deposits of $10,000 or more to the IRS. The Biden Administration is trying to change it to ALL transactions on accounts with $600 or more.
Why?
Because you are a domestic terrorist.
