Ann Van Haute wondered why the government, according to her, was increasingly interfering in the private lives of citizens, among other things with rules about heating, cars, food, renovations, and expenditures. She wrote that those who did not comply with these rules could face taxes or fines and compared the treatment of citizens to that of children needing supervision. Van Haute argued that the government could better focus on the budget, rising debts, and public spending. She criticized that there was, according to her, time to determine which heating boiler people were allowed to install. She suggested that citizens could turn the tables and tell government employees how they should do their jobs; according to her, the result could hardly be worse. #Vrijheid #Overheid #Privacy (translated)
