32. Class action lawsuit would be better, imo.

I'm all for suing them, but when a large number of people have similar claims against the same defendant, it's much more efficient to file a class action suit representing everybody. In this case, the number of people affected is gargantuan. There aren't enough lawyers in the entire country to file separate lawsuits for every living person who has a social security number, or enough judges to try all those cases.

Class action lawsuits poll resources and eliminate the need for endless duplication of effort. Perhaps best of all, a class action suit represents the interests of everyone affected by the defendant's actions, not just those with the time, the money, and the moxie to file on their own behalf.

A class action lawsuit this big would attract lots of media attention as well. Just imagine e how much Schlump would hate that!
