Oh, fuck off with you.
I was talking about income tax, and you know it.
Evading your income tax also helps the business owner evade their half of payroll taxes.
Illegal immigrants pay over 1 billion in income taxes. They contribute more income tax to our country than the 1%. They also pay 3x that amount in property taxes. As previously pointed out, there's a lot of other taxes they pay.
Undocumented workers pay federal taxes and they don't need stolen identifies to do so. We have a lot of ways to extract value from people even when they're not formally citizens.
Yep, that will definitely sway people reading this.
Do you give lessons in rhetorical techniques?
Assuming people can read your mind is always a good idea.
I bet you're the type of fucker who throws a bucket of water on someone when they ask for something to drink.
"Well.... acktchually, a significant portion of moisture absorbed by the human body is absorbed through the skin, so the skin technically is drinking the water. What, was I supposed to read your mind that you wanted a glass of water to drink with your mouth?"
Find your nearest community college, take a few critical thinking courses, then come back to talk with the grownups.
Till then, keep it to yourself.
