Well, I'm no fan of The Huckster II but he had a point about this. I don't recall him saying that he, or anyone else was going to "eliminate" the underground economy.
I seem to recall him saying something to the effect that when these pimps and hos and dealers go to buy gas, food, etc, with the cash they made from their criminal activities they WILL pay tax on it.
Doesn't mean I'm voting for the guy, it just means he has a point here.
AND, when you and I go to buy gas,foot, etc, we too will be taxed, just like the hos and underground businesses. Who’s he trying to buffalo into a pen? Comeon..we all pay taxes when we buy stuff...Ole Huckie is doing a franetic dance for those who don’t listen to his words.
