Big Brother wants you ! The fun part is how they are trying to make you to like this. I wonder if they believe what they say (like "for mutual benefit") or it just plain lie from their side.

Again all these things only create problems for law abiding people since if you are not you do not care how to follow the rules.

The things are changing rapidly: new rules for obtaining the driver license, TWIC cards, now these additional cards.

*If all US agencies will print all my fingerprints I passed last 5 years they can make a picture gallery.

Schumer just wants to make sure he can find you when he needs you to pay the bills he's working up on your behalf, as a hard working member of the people's government...:rolleyes:

Madoff Victims Join Stanford Investors to Lobby for Payback

March 10, 2010, 12:16 AM EST

March 10 (Bloomberg) -- Victims of Bernard Madoff and accused Ponzi schemer R. Allen Stanford are banding together to lobby Congress for a law that could require Wall Street firms to pay billions of dollars to cover some of the losses they suffered.

As the groups’ leaders walked the Capitol halls separately over the past several months, they learned how to find the Senate’s Dirksen Office Building and to call their proposal “revenue neutral,” meaning no cost to taxpayers.

They also gleaned another lesson: The broader the geographic base of support, the better the chance of legislative success. The result is a coalition of the Democratic-backed, East Coast, and mostly Jewish investors defrauded by Madoff, with the Republican-backed, largely Christian, Sunbelt residents victimized by Stanford. The disparate groups now find themselves bound by a common notion: They’ve been cheated, and they want the government to make them whole...

...The lobbying initiative “gives new meaning to the word chutzpah,” said James Cox, a professor at Duke University School of Law. “This is just a tax increase. It’s levied on banks but customers end up paying.”...

...What she needed was Democratic votes. An aide to Vitter suggested she join forces with Helen Davis Chaitman, 68, a New York-based lawyer with Becker & Poliakoff LLP and the Madoff victim leading a similar effort.

Senator Christopher Dodd of Connecticut, the banking committee’s Democratic chairman, and other panel Democrats such as New York’s Charles Schumer, Rhode Island’s Jack Reed and New Jersey’s Robert Menendez, were sympathetic to Chaitman’s cause, she said...
