My 23 year old daughter applied for a job last winter where a background check was done. It came back showing her home address and one in Chicago with her SS NO. I sent her to the SS office and they told her they couldn’t do anything; she had to go to the IRS, which she did. Nothing has happened but for a form letter from the IRS acknowledging her claim. I signed her up with Lifelock as a hopeful preventative move.
Senator Cruz has covered this, do away with the IRS, delete it, simplify the tax code. The employee manual is seven feet thick when printed. Absolutely no concern for the stress, inconvenience and cost caused to the legitimate taxpayer not to mention obvious favoritism or negativism to taxpayers based on political affiliation. Burn it down.
