erik Posted July 29, 2004 Report Share Posted July 29, 2004 Anyone know if you can get by in life without a Social Security # in the USA. Its optional but it seems like you have to have one to do a lot of different stuff. Any thoughts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, as long as you aren't claimed as a dependent on anyone's income taxes, don't make any money, and don't have a bank account, I think it's unnecessary.

erik Posted July 30, 2004 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2004 The reason why I ask is I just had a boy and debated long about getting him a SS#. It seems like they have made it so you have to have one to function which sucks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose that eventually you'll have to welcome your son to the land of the free and the home of the brave. One day it will truly be so.

aturner Posted July 30, 2004 Report Share Posted July 30, 2004 As an Objectivist, I am quite curious as to the source of this resentment of the Social Security number. Although it does represent the entry of a person into the system of taxation, and can be resented for its symbolism, I doubt this is the source of resentment. If it is an "invasion of privacy" that concerns you, we have something worth discussing at some length. A. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colonel Rebel Posted August 2, 2004 Report Share Posted August 2, 2004 speaking of taxation, i've been hearing things through the wires (and not via drudge, frankly) that the republicans, or at least bush's 2nd term objectives include dissolving the IRS completely..... but i guess drudge might have a bit more on this via his alerts.....anywhooo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
