Don't mess with the IRS

Why some people don't have bank accounts, don't have title to a car, don't have any credit, or own any property:
Most of the time we think that government language is difficult to understand, namely IRS forms and instructions that seem ambiguous. But if the IRS is trying to collect money that is owed them, the language becomes crystal clear. "You haven't responded or paid the amounts you owe. .....If you act promptly we can resolve this matter without taking and selling your property to collect what you owe. Property includes bank accounts, wages, real estate commissions, business assets, cars, and other income and assets.....A lien is a public notice that tells your creditors that the government has a right to your current assets and any assets you acquire after we file the lien." Those words are easy to understand, right? No question either as to what is meant by "Our records indicate that the federal tax you owe has not been paid.The law allows the IRS to take up to 15% of your Social Security benefits to pay your overdue taxes." And when you choose to ignore the notices, the language gets even clearer: "Although we have told you to pay the amount you owe, it still is not paid. This is your copy of a Notice of Levy we have sent to collect this unpaid amount. We will send other levies if we don't get enough with this one. This levy requires the person who receives it to turn over to us (1) your wages and salary that have been earned but not yet paid, as well as wages and salary you earn in the future until this levy has been released and (2) your other income that the person has now or is obligated to pay you."
I'm proud of our government for its clarity of wording, and if I still owed the IRS any money, I'd be praying that I'll get all my taxes paid before they find me and confiscate my car that I worked so hard to get.
