Topic: Tax Tracking

Over 50 countries, including Switzerland, have signed an agreement to automatically exchange banking information by 2017 to end tax evasion. The hosts discuss the increasing difficulty of moving money internationally and share personal stories about the intrusive tracking of financial and physical movements in the Netherlands via RFID travel cards and phone positioning.

While the White House later distanced itself from the proposal, the hosts argue that the public is being conditioned to accept extreme invasions of privacy and that such systems are already being tested internationally.
