You think, as I did, that it is a government designed retirement/disability program but it
isn’t and never was. As a matter of fact, most naturalized or natural
citizens don’t
even qualify for a social security number. Only aliens applying
for short term help,
welfare, in other words, qualify along with citizens under very specific criteria (discussed
below).
You will not find any mention of US citizens proper in the social security act. You will not
find any requirement whatsoever that you must be issued a social security number and must
have a card. You will not find any requirement even remotely relating to an actual citizen
even having a tax ID number, even though social security numbers are used as such.
I know you find this as hard to believe as I did. However, the Social Security
Administration recently circulated a letter in which Charles H. Mullen, Associate
Commissioner, states: “The Social Security Act does not require a
person to have a Social Security
number (SSN) to live and work in the United States, nor does it require an SSN simply
for the purpose of having one.”
Confounding the misconceptions we have been led to believe is the IRS. It recognizes
three types of taxpayer identifying numbers. These are: social security numbers,
individual taxpayer identification numbers (TIN), and employer identification numbers.
This is taken from Internal Revenue Service 26 CFR 301.6109-1.
The document further states this applies only for certain aliens to request a number. It
doesn’t mean they automatically receive one, however. The applicant uses form W-7 for
his or her request. They must qualify and be able to show proof of their “alien” status. Therefore, TIN may NOT
be assigned to a citizen of this nation.
Now, who can qualify for a SSN? Bet you think you can as an American citizen can, right?
However, if you are a US citizen, it is doubtful and most probable that you would be
wrong. I repeat, ...MOST PROBABLE YOU WOULD BE
WRONG.
There is only one law in Title 42 U.S.C., S405, which authorizes the assignment of SSNs.
However, Title 42 does not allow just anyone (meaning a citizen of this nation) to be
assigned a SSN. What classes of people are authorized a SSN?
The first class is aliens. Not only is this the first class, it is the primary class. In other
words, the intent of the social security system is first and foremost aliens, foreigners in this
country who are earning an income in this nation or states.
The second class is made up of Applicants for Benefits. I am not going to quote
42 U.S.C. 1313, section 1113, under which a citizen may apply for benefits as you may
read the complete document for yourself.
However, here is what is outlined quite clearly in the
text - The only citizens who may qualify for benefits those (I will quote this) “...(A) are
identified as having returned, or been brought, from a foreign country to the United States
because of the destitution of the citizen of the United States, or the illness of such citizen or
any of his dependents or because of war, threat of war, invasion, or similar crisis, and (B)
are without available resources.
Therefore, if you are an American citizen who has NOT
just returned in destitution or other specified conditions from a foreign country, then you
should not have a social security number.
Furthermore, since only aliens or citizens who have personal income from a foreign source
are required by the US Constitution to pay taxes on personal income, you should not have a
social security number used as a TIN.
In a standard letter should you care to write and ask the Social Security Administration, it
is stated: "The Social Security Act does NOT require a person to have a
Social Security number in order to live and work in the United States, nor does it require a
[number] simply for the sake of having one".
Additionally, Title 42 of the United States Code, Section 405(B)(i)
states under Subsection (II) that Social Security Numbers are assigned:
"... to and individual who is an APPLICANT for or recipient of benefits".
And who may apply? To reiterate, aliens earning an income in this nation, citizens
returning from a foreign country under specified conditions, or children of these two
classes.
We, other than the about 20 percent of the population that has done away with any dealings
with the IRS and Social Security Administration, have been completely and utterly
hoodwinked by our government.
I, for one, have done away with being taxed on my personal income and am finding the
proper method to do away with my social security number.
You can do the same and need not fear if you know the Constitution and other regulations
while refusing to be intimidated by an organization that relies on fear and intimidation or,
in other words, ignorance of the law.
I particularly wish to thank Mr. Ed Akehurst for his patience in helping me
understand.
