What about your driver's license? Gee, it looks like they already have your information unless you're a complete loser who doesn't file taxes and doesn't drive so what's your big worry?

well, if you go by what the feds say, paying taxes is voluntary....but only to the point that if you dont pay those voluntary taxes, you go to prison.


what a misnomer, voluntary taxes that are not voluntary to pay.

repped you too elle.
Yet do you trust banks that issue your credit and debit cards, and do you trust every merchant where you use those cards? If you do the government is the least of your worries...A few years ago when I took a trip to California someone managed to get my visa card number and proceeded to have a ball online gambling with it...I have no idea how much they won, but they lost a bundle, as I discovered when I got my next bill...When you use your card you take a risk.

I have no debit cards, no credit cards, no checks and always take all money but $75 out of my account after each payday. I also have a bad credit rating as well, since I have none of the above and no debt too. but it always does seem that banks want to lend me money each month.

Why would banks want to lend you money if you have bad credit? Banks are not stupid, and that makes no sense.

it makes no sense because wells fargo knows that own more than 20 homes outright with no mortgages on them, and have money that I can use. same thing always seem to happen to my mother when she was alive. people who have money always seem to be the easiest ones to get loans, because they dont really need it.

I dont have bad credit per se, I have a low credit score. if you read between the lines on my credit report, yu will see that I have a low credit score because I have no debt or any credit cards.

most people these days tend to think that a low credit score also means a bad credit score, even me as I posted it in a post.
