Goodbye, kind world (George Monbiot) - In common with all those generations which have contemplated catastrophe, we appear to be incapable of understanding what confronts us.

Section 32101 of the FAST Act required the US State Department to revoke or deny the passport of any taxpayer that the IRS deems to have “seriously delinquent tax debt.”

Thanks for the link. Your deflection has been shared, to the amusement of a whole lot of people who are smarter than you.

Could you explain how the revocation of your passport is equivalent to losing your citizenship rights?

I'm almost 40 years old and I've never even gotten a passport. I've never tied having a passport to being a citizen, at least in my mind. I guess I'd be more concerned if they took your Social Security card away and denied you retirement benefits, but that would also mean that they couldn't collect SS taxes from you either, so that wouldn't happen.

Maybe you mean that getting and maintaining a working passport is a right as a citizen, and you could lose that right for a seriously delinquent tax debt?

Do Right, Be Right. :)

You can't leave the country without a passport, so you're essentially 'incarcerated' within the borders. And, the way the bill is written, presumably your passport could also be revoked while you're outside US borders, and you wouldn't be able to return either. Isn't it the right of a free citizen not charged with any crime in a free country to travel freely?




SECOND is a troll because it constantly misrepresents what people post, fails to address their actual positions, and resorts to personal attacks when its brain isn't working (which is most of the time).

Golly. Tax cheats who owe $50,000 can't leave the country. What a horrible tax!

I guess you don't even need to be charged with anything - let alone convicted - to be guilty and deprived of freedom. What a Nazi.

I could see how this could be a problem for some people. I guess it would just never have been on my radar since I probably won't ever leave the country willingly and I know better than to screw with the IRS.

I'm glad that hospital bill debt isn't included in this though. I don't ever intend to pay back any hospital debt that I might incur late in life. They're going to eat that.

When I lived literally 5 miles from the Canadian border, I would bike over from time to time, because the streets and parks on that side were just phenomenal to ride. The US side waved me through, the RCMP said 'have a nice day, eh'. No passport needed. Those were the days.

Was that in Washington?

And on topic, it is no surprise when you remember that Obama's biggest enemy was America.
