SSN Is Not a Form of Identification!

In the 1930's as Fascism was gaining traction in Europe the US decided to assign everyone a number. Not to be used for ID, but to give you Social Security benefits.

1962 the IRS starts using the number to gather tax info. 1969 the military uses the SSN to ID you. 1977 Federal food assistance is using it.

Now it is your ID, just like they said it wasn't
