I feel the same way about income verification as I do about workplace drug testing …. If you have no basis to suspect it’s a problem….. fuck off.
Realize we have zero privacy left in this country at this point but I will make believe we still do.

It has nothing to do with having privacy. You can have all the privacy you want. But you can't expect anything from someone else and not have to give some of it up. THAT is unreasonable. You don't want to take a drug test? Not a problem. But a company also has the right not to employ you. They will survive without you. You don't want to verify income to bid with a particular auction house? Great, take your business elsewhere.
The problem isn't our losing our privacy, it's everyone's sense of entitlement thinking they get to make the rules in how others do business.
Verifying income for an auction house is one of the most reasonable things I can think of for them to remove one of the biggest problems an auction house faces. The fact that it literally offends people tells me all I need to know about how entitled our society has become. We no longer just take our business elsewhere, we think we should tell people what is reasonable for their business to do, as if they hired you for your opinion.
