Does that mean that your ID number (social security for U.S. readers) is taxable upon receipt (birth or immigration)? Also we will need a birthday tax as your age (a key demographic data point) changes then. A marriage tax, moving (address change) tax, employment change tax etc. Tax law will have a concept of taxable data event much like a liquidity event.

Obviously this is a silly thought exercise but it is fun to think about.

Careful there tiger. You're starting to sound like a Sovereign man with your corporate federal account.

I do not know what any of that means. Googling it led to a bunch of conspiracy sites and equally incomprehensible shady semi-legal advice and advocacy sites

late2part was saying that your chain of thought mirrors the conspiracy sites that you mention.
