So for 30 you've been paying in to SS, but you'll never collect, nor could you collect unemployment if laid off --- you like making large donations to the government? I guess I have a hard time seeing what the point is. And yes, I understand all the arguments over the years about "national ID" and all that, and I can understand if someone works for himself and *doesn't" pay in to the SS system, but ....

I am an American citizen.

In 30 years I have never given a valid social security number to anyone.

I can't.

I don't have one.

I hold a regular high-paying job. I get a paycheck. My employer uses ADP. I have a driver's license. I have a bank account. I have good health insurance. I pay my taxes.

Not once have I had a real problem. Any minor problems that have come up over the years, and there have been very few, always go away when ignored dilligently.

Just give those facists a fake number.

Good luck.
