Check out this older article on how much is paid just for the processing. Carefully read how more is scammed, uh, ripped off, uh, stolen from the taxpayers, um collected for different transactions.

So which businesses receive most of the recirculating debt from the following government income recipients?

Heavy Hitters: Top All-Time Donors, 1989-2014
http://www.opensecrets.org/orgs/list.php
American Fedn of State, County & Municipal Employees $60,949,129 [Democrat] 81% [Republican] 1%”

Leviathan (Uncle Sam employs more people than you think)
National Review ^ | 02/03/2011 | Iain Murray
"...nearly 40 million Americans employed in some way by government."

About "70 million" people are receiving good incomes but are also steeped in debt, and most of them can't borrow more for big ticket items.

I have always thought that it would be a good idea to also have Badge #, Name, Address, Phone # of every LE in town as well ... like that is going to happen.

Can you imagine being pulled over and Officer Friendly asks for your Lic and Reg and while you provide that ... look at his badge # and then ask him ... are you Joe Police, 1500 Policemans House, anytown? Ph #555-1212
Is this address current? Is the Ph # current?

They ask me (for their data base)

Think they would maybe treat you any differently from that point on? I believe they would.
