Life without a Number
What it's like to live numberless. This is a journal of some of the experiences I've had in living without an SSN.

First Letter to the SSA
August 16, 1997: Certainly the Social Security Administration would know if an SSN was required to work. Doesn't hurt to ask, right?

Response from the SSA
October 6, 1997: This is what I got back. As you can see it doesn't even address the points I made in my letter. Did they even read it?

Second Letter to the SSA
October 27, 1997: This is my follow up letter back to the Social Security Administration. If you want something done right...

Second response from the SSA
November 18, 1997: This is what I was looking for. An SSN is not required to live & work in the United States. They admit it!

Letter to the Internal Revenue Service
March 30, 1998: SSNs are also TINs (Tax Identification Numbers). If you have no SSN, can you file a 1040?

Response from the Internal Revenue Service
April 10, 1998: ... apparently not! Perhaps this is why they put so much financial pressure on parents to allow the government to stamp them with numbers

Frequently Asked Questions
...or just good questions. These are some of the questions I've gotten.

Income Taxes
The guilt trip question: "Don't you feel a moral obligation to pay income taxes?" Most people are honest and want to pay "their fair share", but this is why a tax on one's basic earnings is inherently immoral (and why it inevitably makes up the lions share of federal government income).

Furthermore, as established in the famous trial of William Penn in August 1670, and contrary to the unlawful instructions given by most American judges, in addition to judging the facts of a case, juries also have the right and duty to pass judgement on the law (meaning they may acquit a violator of the law if they believe the law in question is unconstitutional, immoral, just plain stupid, or if the penalty is deemed too harsh). Juries are also lawfully free to vote according to their conscience, above all other considerations.
