Pretty soon we will just beg the IRS to take it all

[fightingquaker13]

This is the greatest of opportunities to mess with the IRS.  NOW DON'T actually do this, but this is how it would go down.

 someone  writes a  program (spreadsheet, whatever) and prints huge number of bogus  ones of these.   Of course they  would  be from a bogus company.   Maybe from a company or organization they didn't like. And mail them to the IRS.   Now at the IRS "intake" centers, they'll open and start processing them (entering them in the computer).    Then when they try to reconcile them, they won't match.  Oh the havoc this would cause on the IRS and companies "named" in the 1099s. 

Again, don't do this, it's just a theory how someone else might mess with the system.   I'm just saying.

As much fun as that is......Let me say this, screwing with the IRS is about as smart as threatening the President or carjacking a mail truck. Just like the SS and Postal Inspectors, the IRS has scary powers and i freakishly good (in LE terms) at using them. A wise man does not go there. If you're bored and looking for a dangerous hobby, mess with the FBI or DEA. Your odds of survival are better.

When you don't do this, wear rubber gloves when  handling the paper and mail it from an adjoining state.    

I was wondering if I could borrow your printer for a couple of days, Solus?

Don't printers leave identifying marks on things they print ?
I'd use a Kinko's in a different state.

Kinkos or maybe the public library might have a set up where you can print.  

I'd be glad to loan mine, but it is not working right now....sorry

It's not a conspiracy unless one of us actually knows how to write a spread sheet.
I can't even open a spread sheet, let alone write one, so if you get in trouble it's not my fault.
(Did W ever use spread sheets ? )

I saw on the news a while back that even copy machines have on-board hard drives and save a copy of everything it scans........so watch out there too if you don't do what you say you won't do.

Well, I tweaked the VA once.   Also, the state of GA, which says I don't exist.  And I use to play around with the pre 9/11 airport security. 

Been playing it pretty much by the book since 9/11 though.   But it was just a thought. 

There is an old Lily Tomlin routine from back in the day when company's sent you bills with a computer punch card that you were suppose to return.   She suggested that if you soaked the card in tepid water for just a few seconds, then dried it off, it would shrink the holes just a little bit.  Not enough that you would notice.....but............
