Right.
Someone doesn't want to get caught.
I'm not saying he's a criminal, but... No, this is to government spending what the ban on voter ID is to elections.
Why wouldn't... You only do that.

And that's why they're now driving all the job creators out of the state with this proposed asset seizure.
If they just clamp down on the fraud, they wouldn't have this hole in their budget.
