40% of all workers in L.A. County (L.A. County has 10 million people) are
working for cash and not paying taxes.

I heard a tax accountant on the radio say that in South Carolina, over 400,000 people are employed using the SSN of 999-99-9999.

I wonder how small the pool of over-subscribed SSNs is in LA County.

The IRS can see all these SSNs when it receives the employer deposit payroll transmitals. Why has the Congress, the President and the MSM been silent about using the IRS to find employers who have obviously bogus employees.

Because the hundreds of billions of dollars paid under bogus Social Security numbers helps reduce the deficit. link

"It is all thanks to the 1986 Immigration Reform and Control Act, which made it a crime for employers to knowingly hire illegal immigrants.

True, the law is a joke that is rarely enforced, and that should bother the law-and-order crowd more than it does. But by forcing employers to require Social Security cards – even bogus ones – IRCA did manage to rope illegal immigrants into the system. Last year, contributions by illegal immigrants made up about 10 percent of the Social Security surplus – the difference between what the system takes in and what it doles out.... According to the best estimates of the Social Security Administration, the fund has kept track over the last 20 years of more than $300 billion in total earnings – the vast majority of them attributable to illegal immigrants."

my aunt died in 1993. At the age of 84. Someone 21 is using her social security #, a male in Orange County.
