As far as I can tell, this anti-government paranoia in the US is just an internet bogeyman. It doesn't seem to stop the elite from doing anything, whether good or bad. It certainy hasn't prevented the US from compiling databases about its citizens.
Japan is the first country I've heard of that records family info in this way. But Australian states do have central land registries, these are maps which have the final say own who owns what.
In the US this system is rare, and the resistance has not come from Tea Partyers. Rather from the industry of title-insurers who benefit from the unceratin property rights created by the title-deed system.
By European standards it's good old corruption, but in US it's suddenly an "industry".
Whenever we have problem here, first mentioned solution would be Single National Registry of Whatever.
VAT returns fraud - make registry of all refunds. VAT evasion - log all VAT transaction in tax office database. Land disputes and corruption - make a map with all registered land plots and their owners and make it open. Voter suppression and voting fraud - make voter registry, have it always up to date and let voters check if they are on list online.
Corrupt officials - make open registry of tax declarations of all officials, MPs and their family members. Property and corporate ownership fraud - make registries of companies and properties and make it open.
Passports take longer than 30 days to issue - registry of all citizens, residents and everybody who entered country. And the first thing you do, if you are foreigner or citizen, you get tax number and keep that ugly piece of paper with you. Without tax number you don't even exists.
