Companies are not going to put themselves into jeopardy for failing to withhold. It’s not the state or the individual that would get nailed first.
Tax law compliance relies on people and companies voluntarily sending in the money. I submit that even if you leave companies out, the IRS would not have any way to deal with massive civil disobediance to the IRS code. I guess we’ve gotten so soft that we don’t care to do whatever it takes to retake our country. Sure glad we’re past the Revolutionary War. We couldn’t win it today with the people who live here.
