Privacy is a human attribute which, unlike mobility or ingestion, depends on recognition by others to be actualized. Solitude can be realized by oneself, but privacy depends on a partner. By extension, private property depends on material assets being recognized as an adjunct of the individual claiming their exclusive use. So, privacy is both a natural attribute and a social construct -- one which the predatory creatures do not appreciate.
Indeed, the predator, in targeting prey for exploitation, essentially violates privacy and bodily integrity. Predation, even when it is only manifest as accumulation, is violative of both private property and personal properties. We might even conclude that the accumulation of material wealth is a sure sign of disrespect; perhaps even cluelessness.
Which means that rich people making a claim of privacy for themselves are indulging the grossest hypocrisy. Never mind that money is a public utility and cannot be accumulated privately. So, if someone's got a large stash of money, regardless of which public entity produced it, the stash is a sign of widespread assent to its accumulation. Which, of course, also means that assent can be withdrawn at any time and this likely accounts for the sense of insecurity with which the rich are plagued. Poor little rich men.
"Do unto others as you would have them do unto you" is a fearful prescription after one has been thieving. The thief has to fear others following his own example. Republicans have to fear the poor will steal back what they've stolen. So, riddled by guilt, they seek refuge in secrecy and hide themselves away in gated communities, vainly preventing a thievery that the majority of the population has no interest nor inclination to perpetrate.
I suspect it's the guilt being denied that makes them mean. People who respect other people's privacy need never feel guilt. So, respect for privacy is the key to liberty. Conversely, people using currency have given their privacy up.
One has to be pretty clueless not to recognize that.
