What makes you think bank notes are anonymous? They have serial numbers. I just assume the government scans them at every ATM, Bank and other "trusted" money I/Os...

Well, they need to keep the seed keys. How else would the [insert three-letter agency] snoop on your communications?

Here in Switzerland they try to "tax" internet PCs too.

In the olden days the justification for this tax was, that you cannot control the reception of a broadcast unless you monitor every home. The same is not true for internet services. It's not broadcast, it's 1:1 connections and you can easly identify your subscribers. There's no reason (besides greed) to charge non users like me. I've consciously choosen not to have tv or radio. I won't pay just because i have a internet connection.
