I was rather shocked after stumbling upon this article. I can just see where this is headed in a few years.

As far as a government agency and its vendors attempting to safeguard my information -- especially information of this nature -- they have just about zero credibility with me anymore. Consider the laptops containing confidential information that seem to go missing once in a while.

In 1979, I got married and was scheduled to join the military.

My grandfather officiated at my wedding.

After we said; "I do", he said, sotto voca, "you're screwed"

Pappy wasn't wrong about the direction of American politics.

In just the past six months, Texas has collected $5 million in unpaid taxes from 43 scofflaws.

It only cost the taxpayers in Texas $50 million for the state to do it.

Seems like another good place to mention that for every property and income tax dollar I sent to the Federal government and New Mexico last year (NM has an income tax), I sent $5.40 to Texas (TX does not have an income tax). This is disgusting considering that my NM residential city property is worth almost three times my TX commercial city property. Texas is welcome to track me down but they will find me out of the State soon, I hope. I just took my vehicle to New Mexico to register it (+8% sales tax in Texas, 3% in New Mexico). There are 254 counties in Texas which are mostly conservative, yet liberal Travis County, runs roughshod over all. Hmmmm, sort of sounds like the U.S. Congress?

State employees.....are barred from disclosing the data

Government employees depend on the ever-expanding power of The State (and ever-increasing tax revenue to fund that power) to facilitate their existence.   And they think this info will remain private???  Uh-huh, yeah, whatever.

Hence, the reason to vote Constitution Party this year. Teach the Republican Party a lesson this year about going back to its base and its platform to prepare them conservatively for 2008.

I didn't cheat, I just added these dependents, welfare person, invader and a person in jail.:)

Big ticket items purchased in other states. Off shore bank accounts are getting more common. Small wonder! Most people in the U.S. believe that federal incomes taxes are still too high [Survey results - scroll down]. That includes people in all earned income brackets. The states want more and more tax revenue and will turn over any rock to find taxpayer data.

I'm thinking about becoming an illegal immigrant to get around this whole tax thing.

They can spend all this money but can't find and deport illegals when they are marching down the street.

If you're in California and have kids of college age, just have them show-up at the UC registrar's office, declaring themselves as bright ILLEGALS --they're fully entitled to in-state tuition, to pay LESS than Americans from Nevada, for example...

If my boss (wife) and I are cheating on our taxes then our CPA is in trouble too.

[Revolting cat!]

Damn, makes you wish you were in Russia where everybody cheats, and where the almighty state, after 70 solid years of totalitarian practice still can't catch anyone!

Orwellian nightmare, baby? It's us!

[Billthedrill]

It's OK. I bought my yacht and my private jet in the Cape d'Antibes. They'll NEVER catch me!

Uh...unless the IRS data miners search FR. Just kidding, fellas! Heh heh...
