How do you feel about Americans working and getting pay under the table?

Question

About eight of every ten Americans receiving any kind of goverment help work and receive payment under the table and when they get cought they prefer to quit their job than lose their cheese. and you still worry about those hard working tax paying illegal immigrants.

Is not a small number compared with illegal immigrants as a matter of fact the ratio is 2000 to 1 (Americans commiting fraud being 2000)

Most of illegal immigrants work with a fake SS# or a TIN and thats the only way any employer can justify employment to INS if getting caught. and YES they all deduct taxes.

Answer 1

I couldnt get past the begining of your question..

"How do you feel about Americans.."

Fat, stupid, ignorant, evil, lazy sons of bitches...

Answer 2

I love all these people saying that illegals do not pay taxes, kind of like they know what they are talking about..funny huh? I know for a fact that most of them DO pay taxes, most of them do get paid with checks not personal checks but payroll..go to your local wal-mart and you will see them all there cashing these checks, it's not hard. They require very little information if any at all. That is where the fake social security number comes in. The system only checks the social number if there happens to be a problem with the check and as usual there isn't.

They should be focusing on the companies..such as Wal-Mart and even small businesses and punish them for committing crimes. They should also making the process of becoming a legal citizen more relevant to the situation, by all means do background checks and all the security precautions but is it really necessary to ask them history questions about the U.S? Why must these innocent people kiss our *** just to live a life they as human beings have every right to, just as much as anyone else. Ridiculous, you all are freaking ridiculous.

Answer 3

This is wrong and when these people are caught, they are fined, and many time imprisoned. It is not as easy as quit your job or we cut off your welfare. When legal citizens are caught cheating on their taxes, the IRS (which can track you when you use a real social security number) get what they consider theirs one way or another. This of course only applies to legal citizens. Illegal immigrants just leave the country for a few days then are right back breaking the law again (as a country we only save a few days of cheese).

Taxes are not deducted if a illegal immigrant is paid “under the table” as you say.

Answer 4

First, where did you get your statistics. 2nd, illegal immigrants don't pay taxes, they don't have social security numbers if they are illegal unless they stole them, and that isn't right either. I think paying someone under the table is wrong, BUT I also think that the government puts so many tax requirements on small business's that some are forced to pay under the table to stay alive. I mean you have to pay social security, small business tax, income tax, Workman's comp, and a bunch of other things. It can be hard on a small business. So maybe the government should look at that and give business's a break when paying their employees so that less companies will be forced to pay under the table or forced to use illegal immigrants.

Answer 5

How can an illegal immigrant pay taxes? Why would they want to? The facts are still there, that the majority of illegal immigrants do NOT pay taxes. Furthermore, they take advantage of government programs that are intended for legal citizens, further contributing to their burden on the American tax payer.

Anyone who does not pay taxes is WRONG. I don't care if they are legal or illegal. But the fact is, still, that illegal immigrants are here ILLEGALLY. I don't know how much clearer it could be.

If my neighbor murdered someone, does that make it suddenly OK for me to do it to? I don't see the logic in that.

Answer 6

Boy I wish I could get all that information when I was on workers comp for back surgery. I would have made a killing. Imagine how much more I could have made then the $213. a week I got. Did your source tell you how to do these under the table jobs when the insurance company tells you they will have spy's watching you at all times.Boy what a fool I was to follow the rules.

Answer 7

you know i was agents any one working under the table and not paying taxes. but what the hell, the illegals are getting away with it. why shouldn't the Americans and the legal immigrants. Americans have more rights to do it. there in America. there home country.

Answer 8

No one should be working "under the table." It has always been illegal. The illegal immigrants can just put one more notch on their belt of illegal activities.

Answer 9

those are two questions. everyone should have the right to work and get paid any way they choose in a free country. people recieving government benefits dishonestly is just that, dishonest. the whole idea of illegal immigrants in the U.S. is truly an oxymoron. the founding fathers of the U.S. would be appalled at the government running things today, it is no longer of the people but rather the almighty dollar................................

Answer 10

That is wrong and also illegal. That does NOT justify people entering our country ILLEGALLY. We have murderers in the USA, also, so should we just allow all murderers from other countries to come on in here too?
I DON'T THINK SO!!

Answer 11

Much... much smaller numbers....and I question your stats.. hard go believe that many on the dole, have the ambition to work at all... too easy to stay stoned all the time. In any case that does not excuse the illegals... they need to go home
