Do you have permit for that? If you want to keep that permit, you'd better do as you're told.
Rub those officials the wrong way and they'll strip you of permission to travel the roads, leave the country, or even make a living.
That's not a recipe for a free country.
ok, not sure about the first part, but I thought you couldn't prevent a person from making a living based on a court ruling that I read about.
the part that's new is that the govt. can prevent you from returning from another country by invalidating your passport if you were delinquent on or didn't pay taxes.
prior to 1940, passports were not required for overseas travel. interesting. are passports really necessary?
has the court ruling on preventing a person from making a living get thrown out the window?
are we being enslaved by bureaucratic fiat?
