(I'll try to make this post as unbiased as posible)
I heard from people everywhere even in steemit that we "undocumented do not pay taxes" and that we take vantage of others taxes well here is the truth.
-WAYS TO PAY TAXES
-Buying Stuff: Every time someone buys something in stores such as Walm*rt, cosc* or other grocery stores we all need to pa taxes in this products, unless you have a EBT card.
-Pay Check Taxes: We all know that the government/state takes taxes from their citizens.
-Pay Taxes: Paying taxes depends on the amount of money you are generating in any lucrative activity such as work, selling in ebay and yes steemit.com, people also can get some of their tax money back.
Now the question is does undocumented people meet these categories ?
-Buying Stuff: Undocumented people does totally pay taxes when they buy stuff at any grocery store.
-Pay Check taxes: This is a hard one, I'll try my best to explain it.
Have you ever hear that work without a social is Illegal ? if not than now you know it is, however if you work illegally you must use your ITIN number to report your taxes. you hear me, the goverment is like "don't do it, but if you do then do this."
However most Undocumented people does get paid under the table, but that's the boss/company taking vantage of them and the government.
-Pay Taxes: Sadly most of Undocumented do not report taxes which is a crime, but that's because of the misunderstanding information within undocumented communities they think they would somehow get caught and deported back to their country since they would be dealing with the government (IRS). this benefits both parties due that undocumented earnings is not huge plus they most likely are the only source of income in their family this would make the USA (IRS) give some of their paid taxes back, I hate the misleading information in undocumented communities.
CONCLUSION:
Undocumented do pay taxes in fact they contribute 300 Billion dollars on taxes alone, but it could get much higher of curse. It's hard to chose side that's why I'm not doing it. If someone says to me "Undocumented don't pay taxes" I'll answer back "I do" .
