IDENTITY THEFT VICTIMS GIVEN SHORT SCHRIFT BY OBAMA'S IRS
WSJ ^ | May 2012 | Laura Saunders

Posted on 07/04/2012 9:41:51 PM PDT by MrChips

J. Russell George, the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration, or Tigta—an official IRS watchdog—today told a Congressional oversight committee that the Internal Revenue Service gives “confusing and often conflicting instructions” to taxpayers who are victims of identity theft. IRS Deputy Commissioner Steven Miller gave testimony before the committee as well.

Both officials called tax-related identity theft a growing problem. According to IRS statistics presented by Tigta, over 640,000 taxpayers were affected by it in 2011, more than double the 271,000 affected in 2010. The Tigta report concluded that the growth in cases had overwhelmed IRS resources and burdened taxpayers.

I was a victim in 2011. It took until November for them to send me my refund. They sent me a new pin # with which to file my return in 2012. The new pin # did not work. It’s all a joke. My refund is in limbo somewhere. The IRS is fundamentally broken and cannot be fixed. And now we are putting them in charge of healthcare?!?!?

From the information gleamed from the web the numbers are and were nearing fifty million in total at or during 2011. If 2012 and the number five is accurate the total taken by now would account for almost every man, woman, and child who is a U.S. citizen. I do not know this to be a fact yet would not doubt these SS numbers or associated account numbers have become extremely important to either a group or a number of nations. While I do not like to speculate why, there has to be a reason and with zer0care coming down the pike at breakneck speed one can assume there will be only one data base which will hold all the information on each citizen of the U.S. for some unknown reason. Wonder what the reason is? Does one dare ask why? One can speculate, or ask why, but the answers have been zer0. Which in truth was not an answer, yet here our nation is.

Perhaps we are about to have a SS# required to register to vote. With a Soros owned Spanish company counting a significant percentage of red state votes, the numbers may be a clue to cheating the ballot counts to keep demoncrats like Reid and Nazi Pelicanosi in power.

That is a frightening thought. We should just have paper ballots, everywhere, counted by hand, by a group of 10 people in a locked room.

It almost does have “papers please” written into zer0care, or a coming of a sinister horseman looming once more on the horizon. Truly ... it appears and have seen that even votes in my state are being recorded, which people do not know, via bar codes on ballots given to the voter. Simple task to build profiles on all citizens looming or currently underway. “Papers please” could soon be a demand for even we citizens after we citizens have been denied papers. This sounds terrible of me speculating in these terms yet I grew so tired of people before 911 saying it could not happen and those who kept their eyes closed to the dangers of the world around all of us. Now is the tale of the tape turning into the rope with which to hang us? Truly I do not know. Am suspicious though. Which for all the good that does is no good at all.

YIKES!
In Georgia, they are now making it mandatory that you present two pieces of identification of address, your BIRTH CERTIFICATE, and your SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER to renew your drivers’ license.

At first, I thought this was a good idea—perhaps to cut down on fraudulent voters; but with all this talk about identity theft and the Spanish Company HANDPICKED by Bath-House Barry to count the November votes, I’m wondering if this isn’t a way to expedite identity theft in Georgia in an effort to have Barry elected in November!

—after all, Georgia was where Barry was allowed to ignore a subpoena to appear in court to prove his eligibility and the previous year, our ball-less congresscritters exchanged their votes preventing him from being on the ballot for fed money for the Port of Savannah! (whores!)

Virginia is similar with the exception you only need all that if you let your present license expire.
Renew it in the guidelines and you are allright.

you can never trust your doctor again.

ANYTHING you tell your doctor can and will be used against you.

no right to legal representation in a doctor’s office.

The doctor has become the state.

Nothing to argue with concerning your post. Have spoken with my doctor and he is in agreement with your post. btw ... my doctor is not a happy camper with zer0care.
