I guess that if you don’t have a phone, you can’t buy a fishing lisc.
Actually, the IRS uses computers to compare the actions and behaviors of people. IT them compares them to a number of standards. If your personal behavior is unusual, you WILL BE TARGETED for an audit.
Odd behavior will become illegal. having a pet chicken, for instance. Reading about the habits and fashion of the ancient sumerians, or any other odd, out of the norm behavior will be tracked and flagged. Do not think that this will not happen. It will, because the USA government is now in the business of health. So they will , can and have, specify that you have odd behaviors and are thus prone to dangerous behavior.
There is one solution to all the ills that the USA finds itself in. OVERTURN the 16th amendment. JUST DO IT. It is the right, and just and obvious solution. But it is the elephant in the room that no one is talking about.
Yup; I'm on the list then!
(Good luck with tracking ALL of us kooks!)
The neighbors will say that ELSIE hadn't shown any signs; lately...

Are you saying that by my refusing to give out my unlisted phone # is unusual behavior?
Personally, I find it ‘unusual behavior’ to require such info (and pay $29) just to drown some worms and maybe catch a fish that the state (NY) suggests you DO NOT EAT more than 4 ounces of it a month due to high mercury levels.
Just checking to see if we’re on the same page.

Glad to see that others out there share my view. Thank you.
Lot’s of well-meaning FReepers have suggested that I give a fake phone number and just go ahead and buy the license. I have done that in the past and did consider it. I kept hearing a small voice in the back of my head saying “Starve The Beast”. I’ll use the money to buy more ammo, if I can find it.
Screw ‘em.
