USNBandit You do have a great point about tapping into the "off the books" economy. I would like to see those people have to pay tax as well Blackbirdsst: "Don't forget, all retail items already have an enourmous Tax burden built into the price" And you thought the "off the books economy" didn't pay taxes. As it turns out it's "an enourmous tax burden "....

As you well know I'm sure, the bulk of ILLEGAL's income goes back to Mexico, next to Oil it's Mexico's biggest revenue source. So NO TAX ASSESSED on literally BILLIONS of US Dollars every year. No income Tax, State or Federal being assessed on those wages. So it really only amounts to a mere pittance on the goods they buy to live and survive here.

The WOsD's has seen to it that the big bucks aren't spent on purchase's, without being reported to the IRS and other ABC agency's for investigation. The bulk of that money leaves our shores, where it can be spent freely, except for the small time user of the product. Nice attempt at throwing the straw man out there though, credit where credit is due and all that. Blackbird.

So they won't pay tax under a sales tax either...

Other than you're the only one to mention illegals, what's your point?
