More and more of what we do is dependent on permission from the government.
Members of Congress and other government officials just thought they could coerce more people into meeting IRS demands if they made the right to travel dependent on keeping the taxman happy.
Under the provisions of the welfare reform law passed in 1996, "States must adopt laws that allow them to suspend driver's, professional, occupational, and recreational licenses of individuals who owe overdue support," according to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
All 50 states have complied with that federal requirement, the National Conference of State Legislatures reports, although the triggers for revocation vary.
"Arizona law has given the authority to administratively suspend a professional or occupational license without going to court," boasts the state's Division of Child Support Services.
"[I]n 19 states, government agencies can seize state-issued professional licenses from residents who default on their educational debts," The New York Times reported last fall.
"Another state, South Dakota, suspends driver's licenses, making it nearly impossible for people to get to work."
