What narks my 88 year old dad is that after being involved in WW2, working hard all his life, always lived as honest as he could, that he has been so insignificant that they don't know what kind of a man he is anyway?

From his point of view he distrusts a government who would love to get their greedy little hands on everything he worked hard for and resents the intrusion to his privacy like how many rooms does he have? Damned cheek.
