If someone never pays taxes but is a citizen are they any better than an illegal immigrant that works but hasn't paid taxes?

They've paid fewer taxes as a percentage overall, and have the gall to hate on immigrants/illegals that aren't paying taxes, but did all the labor that got the billionare rich in the first place

Define which taxes. Most in the middle class don't pay any federal income taxes when it's all said and done. You going to complain about that too or use it as a strawman for open borders?

i don't use a mirror and you still seem like you are trying to irk me. so who is the 12 year old Also you projected thing on me i didn't say so i was only trying to return the favor

@jehova Nah, now you're editing comments to completely change the content and meaning well after-the-fact. You're dishonest, you don't know what you're talking about, you get triggered, and you puts words in my mouth. Any conversation with you is, frankly, a pointless exercise. I'm done with you. Have a good one.

@Sicarium I know you are the trigger and apparently loving it. I know I have several brain injuries and I need to edit what I write and say. and if you review your first couple comments you claimed there were jobs in making private jets for the wealthy, which would be lost when those jets would be taken from the wealthy; something I had never suggested. So yea practice as you've preached.

you might not pay income tax...... but if you buy things, you pay sales tax...... if you drive, you pay gas tax. they will get it out of you one way or the other.

@SheCallsMeCrushDaddy but if you evade taxes that's a felony, racketeering. NY will take you down

Businesses and industries that deliberately employ illegal immigrants do so in order to pay a fraction of the wages they would pay a citizen. Arguably, that’s the difference in the taxes someone here illegally would pay. A wealthy citizen who [b]brags[/b] about being “too smart” to pay taxes and “scamming the system” is in the same category as a “welfare cheat”—benefitting but not paying his way.

@bijouxbroussard agreed...... crooks come from both sides of the tracks.

@SheCallsMeCrushDaddy I wonder though the illegals not paying taxes is a fraction of the amount the wealthy aren't paying and "getting out of"

@SheCallsMeCrushDaddy Can you remember in modern times a [b]president[/b] bragging about not paying taxes and scamming the system ? [b]Specifically[/b], from [b]either[/b] side ?😳

most really rich people don't pay taxes

this is the same in any country

of course rich people would be no where without the slaving middle classes

jehova · 31-35, M

@nudistsurfer in most countries the middle class doesn't exist in most of Europe the equivalent is often referred to as the merchant class.

I think that there are so many reasons people may not pay taxes... e.g. they are stay at home moms raising kids.. they are very low earners, perhaps because they have kids or are caring for relatives... These people are not worthless!!! That's the important thing to remember.. they are still contributing to the country..

jehova · 31-35, M

@Adaydreambeliever I agree with you 100% on that I'm only referring to the ultra rich not paying taxes, almost at all, and then claiming others whom are doing all the work are the ones not paying taxes.

Ah hypocrisy
