It all comes down to one thing...
I have rights... the government does not.
End of story.
It is not my responsibility to keep a record of who I am for them.
If they think I may have done something, as always, they have a job to do.
As always....
"They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety."
~Benjamin Franklin (1706 - 1790), Historical Review of Pennsylvania, 1759

From what I've seen, they work the system in their various ways, and mostly stay afloat by playing the bureaucracy against itself.

If you live in one of the Provinces, Commonwealths or other "States" that are not states, legally, you do not have to pay federal tax.
If you do not drive, you do not have to carry ID.
If you do not work, you do not have to have an SS#.
All perfectly legal.
They don't like it because bureaucrats and cops are control freaks and anything they can't control scares them, but legal.
People should not fear their government, the government
should fear the people. If you don't like that in the job... don't do it.
