Why won't the government give me my pin number? Why did they force me to have one?

Why am I forced to have a pin number? I watched the video the video said it was voluntary. I never volunteered for this. It's very inconvenient it causes all kinds of problems and I don't want no part of it what part of that do they not understand. My thoughts is we have a lot of child molesters that run in this country. And they want to screaming out of my income tax money so I can pay immigrants to bring them and their kids. That's why you have so many immigrant kids that are missing. I think that they purposely won't send me my PIN number because they want to scream me out of my income tax. I think that you guys won't help me because this is probably the 4th or fifth time I've posted asking for help and haven't gotten it. I wonder how much of a cut you guys get? What do I got to do to get my income tax? I don't want to have to get ugly but I can if I have to

The IRS determined that you are at risk of identity theft and assigned you an IP Pin to protect your identity.   You normally receive a letter around January with the current IP Pin number.  You can get the number from the IRS by verifying your identity with them.

Here is the IRS website with directions on how to get your IP Pin.
