Iff commercially available pieces of manufactured technology like mobile phones and and their APPs and laptops and and their OSs and kinect and their online stat-chompers and televisions and satnavs and refridgerators are to be used by The Governments of The World to SPY ON US, why should we be asked to PAY FOR them?
Doesn't this already come under our National Security tax contributions? It's like I don't understand how BUSINESSES are taxed on 'net' earnings (taking out all costs of running that business) while WORKERS are taxed on 'gross' earnings (minus some pitiful concession (or 'tax allowance') that goes nowhere to paying all the running costs of the person who earned that money in the first place).
Has someone made an important global accounting error somewhere? Shouldn't all this shit be FREE, for the sake of our National Security?
