There's that pesky problem of employers reporting your income and address by your SSN to the IRS... :o) They always find you eventually :o) If it was voluntary, I doubt many would pay, or if they did, it would be a much smaller amount.


>>Also, Americans move around too much to get an invitation. Sheesh, half the time my mail can't find me. The government or electoral bodies would need to know where I am at all times in order to send me an invitation. They only know my address is I submit it in order to update my voter registration after a move. Registering to vote is not a requirement that is enforced on us. It is considered a priviledge and not mandatory.
