Many people are quite concerned about identity theft and the government has promoted this fear as well. But how much of it is real? And another point; if we are filling out forms all day long and submitting them to the government and the government is being hacked by computer software malcontents then in fact the government is the one that needs to protect us from identity theft, as they are the ones collecting the data.
Who really owns your personal information? Should the government be allowed to give away your personal, small business or company's information? So often our information is collected by the government in tax rolls, marriage licenses, business licenses and other forms and it is free to whomever asks for it. Much of this data is in fact online. Do you ever wonder who the best friends of Identity Thieves are? The Government.
Forget going through trash cans for credit card receipts. All the data you could ever want is free right from the government which claims to be protecting you from the very thieves they hand your information over too. Must be job security or something because this policy is simply nuts.
Another interesting factor is that the government does not want your information to be too hard to get, because in case they want it. You know that government likes to have access to everything, including the underwear you are wearing, reminds me of the Catholic Priest in the news the other day. It seems rather odd that anyone could actually believe that the Federal Trade Commission is going to stop identity theft.
After all, they had two computers stolen last year with people's personal information on them? Good protection, they cannot even protect themselves. I certainly hope this article is of interest and that is has propelled thought. The goal is simple; to help you in your quest to be the best in 2007. I thank you for reading my many articles on diverse subjects, which interest you.
