Global planners are now spreading their tentacles of economic control over the entire globe which will eventually afford them complete and total power over the world's economies. Before all commerce can be conducted electronically however, a number of foundational provisions must first be put into place. Perhaps chief among these is the ability to positively identify all parties who engage in electronic business - particularly over the Internet. This will require a combination of technologies to identify both the user and the equipment from which a transaction originates. As more and more purchases are made over the Internet, various government agencies are beginning to clamor about lost revenue due to electronic sales that are not taxed.
Tax revenues diminish in direct proportion to the increase in un-taxed electronic sales.
This issue will have to be addressed very soon, one way or another. The tax will be levied and collect when the sale is conducted. Law enforcement interests will be central to whatever electronic commerce technologies are eventually established. Therefore, assurances will be provided for the ability to trace all transactions back to an individual, identify the originating address, and verify the computer terminal used. These system's inherent traits will provide the ability to track all transactions so that illegal activity can be monitored.
