Those employers should be arrested for not reporting taxes to the government.
Amen.
Before we blame the "Underground Economy" on illegals and their employers, let's look at the big picture. I know of many people who exchange services for services. I have neighbor who has a very successful tattoo business. He routinely compensates individuals who provide services at his house with free tattoos at his shop. And I can give many more examples of barter that goes on everyday. This person is not doing this to avoid taxes, it's just a logical and easy way to trade services. I think that this has been going on since our country was founded.
"The IRS last year added 2,200 enforcement employees."
Well they definitely have the IRS agents to enforce it....even though the borders are still open and illegals run rampant in our country.
Guess making sure they collect those taxes from American citizens is more important to them.
