Tax evasion

Now how about the state and IRS go after employers who employ illegals and don't pay any of payroll taxes on their incomes. Government could recoup billions of dollars in these lucrative tax evasion schemes of our business leaders.

These illegals not having any identity and undocumented are being paid under the table and they never file a tax return. The businesses cannot report any earnings or taxes from an illegal that does not exist or have an identity, otherwise they would be caught and prosecuted. Illegals have no traceable and tax free incomes and have limited their purchases to a cash only spending.

This segment of our economy, the illegals, with no traceable income or job is capitalizing on lucrative welfare and government services with the falsification of documents, even birth certificates of their offspring. They know we are the idiots and freely enjoy our social programs and education and not even giving it a thought to pay income taxes. If told to pay income taxes they just go in to hiding in SLC, the sanctuary of Utah.

Where's the redneck outrage? The necks come out of the woodwork to protest so-called "illegals" for not paying taxes (which isn't accurate by the way) but none of the redneck republicans seem to care this guy was caught, probably because most of them would cheat on taxes if they thought they could get away with it.

lost in DC

another candidate for BO's cabinet, or at least an undersecretary position.
