The country suffers for a persons bottom line. You and me included. As you said...the SSA records are available. Even the Ford Motor Company can check them. And criminally liable?? Don't know about that unless it was on a large scale or a recurring over and over thing. That shows disdain for the rule of law. But business liability..in other words..no business for a week..none...from the top on down. No loopholes. Just close it down. the first time..2nd time..2 weeks...after that 6 months Even Ford would REALLY check on the employees then. So would a small business...if they wanted to stay in business. Intrusion into our private affairs?? Not really any more than we already have
