I am an American citizen. In 30 years I have never given a valid social security number to anyone. I can't. I don't have one. I hold a regular high-paying job. I get a paycheck. My employer uses ADP. I have a driver's license. I have a bank account. I have good health insurance. I pay my taxes. Not once have I had a real problem. Any minor problems that have come up over the years, and there have been very few, always go away when ignored dilligently. Just give those facists a fake number. Good luck. Signed, 322-33-0007
