Most hilarious post I've read. Ever.
What flavor is that Kool-Aid you're drinking?
At least in the state where I live employers withhold part of their workers’ pay to cover state and local income taxes, then send the money to the state Department of Revenue. Counties get the money back each spring after workers file their tax returns. But they only receive part of the money, because some workers — often undocumented immigrants — never file. The money that goes unclaimed are funds that counties desperately need to run public operations but ends up money that just kind of sits right in the pot somewhere and kind of makes its way to the state general fund. Because the state has built a billion plus surplus, in part with income tax revenue never returned to the county, localities are stretched to the limit and have had to begin taking desperate measures like turning county roads back to gravel. The counties keep on demanding and the state keeps on greasing the wheels. It is a very tough and deeply rooted problem. Both parties are complicit in not ensuring the sovereignty of our nation and the protection of our jobs in favor of cheaper prices by turning a blind eye to illegal workers, because they are cheap.
