I wonder if Freepers know where this might ultimately lead? Is this a pressing issue? Are the people clamoring to keep Americans with tax liens off of cruise ships?

Passports may soon be required to fly... Not flying anywhere within the country either?

Straight out of the Soviet Union.
You couldn’t leave without handing over everything you had to the State, because of course the State gave you everything.
“You didn’t build that...”
We aren’t their slaves. If someone wants to pack up and leave and they don’t have a warrant out for their arrest, then Bye. That’s all that should happen.
And it’s yet one more reason why there should NEVER be an income tax in the United States.

There are more than a few ways to obtain ‘alternate’ passports, it can be expensive but well worth while when an allegedly ‘free’ government turns into an Obamunist tyranny like this one.

What about Government employees and most of Obamaâs Admin Now that you bring that up, I think this is a good start.
If you work for the taxpayers, you need to pay tour own taxes.

Everything becomes all about revenue collection when you are broke.

I wonder if Freepers know where this might ultimately lead? Forcing the wealthy to pre-pay their taxes before they are allowed to leave the country. Don't want anyone skipping out on the bill as taxes get worse and worse in the future to pay for Obama's $20 trillion tab.

I am sure the Fed wants everyone to have a passport.
They are trying the backdoor on this because they know they will be called out on it.
