I personally think trying to nab dead beat fathers is a good thing for the state to try to do. How can anyone disagree with that.
Oh how right you are.... But coercion is wrong, and ILLEGAL! That is the problem. It becomes coercion when you cannot open a bank account, take out a loan, or work simply because you refuse to disclose your SSN. Sad thing is that when you refuse to disclose it, you are only exercising your right as the law states..... Then you are "punished" by not being given the "priviledge" to work, fish, buy, etc..... That is wrong. If we do not follow the law, we pay the penalty. So, when states, employers, banks, etc. to not follow the law, why do they not get in trouble for it?
Most people could care less about disclosing their SSN... That is fine, but they SHOULD care that they are not required to disclose it and the law states they cannot be "forced, compelled, or coerced" into disclosing it.
