Welcome to Purple Pawn, covering games played around the world by billions of people every day.
Lost Horizons is a site devoted to the vast conspiracy of the US government to steal tax money from its citizens in an unconstitutional manner. Through their efforts, so they proclaim, dupes of the American tax system have been able to reclaim 3.5 million dollars in illegally acquired taxes, in particular the absurdity known as “income tax”.
They also offer a few games, including one called Cyberwraith, “where a knack for the Hack can transform you from a shorn sheep into a Virtual Freedom Fighter! All it takes is the right computer, the right software, and guts that don’t quit even when the Feds are no-knocking at your door.”
Your object is to delete every government file about you using cyber-cracking techniques. The winner is the player with the monst money, which means that he’s paid the least taxes by erasing him or herself from the most government files.

I think the whole fraudulent tax scheme and federal reserve system in the USA would make excellent starting points for deep strategic games. I wish an established designer (Wallace?) would make a game about it that wouldn’t only be a great game, but would also make people understand how fundamentally wrong the whole system is.
I live in a country where the national bank is still owned by the government, I hope I’m not being ripped off THAT bad as the people in the USA, even though I pay more taxes :)
