A lot of people miss the fact that we all have a great collective power. The power to vote with our feet and our wallets. Don't use banks. Don't drive. Don't pay for insurance. Of course it's not always possible. But if you can think in these terms you can at least reduce your inadvertent support. Why dump your entire paycheck into a bank about with direct deposit, giving banks control of all your money? Banks require you to sign over your privacy rights when you agree to direct deposit. They can then give all you bank account information over to any "agency" that requests it, including your employment information.
