Cash Only, No Checks, Debit or Credit Cards Accepted! No Paper Trails Wanted; 47% in U.S. not paying their Fair Shares of Federal Taxes:

Cash Only, No Checks, Debit or Credit Cards Accepted! No Paper Trails Wanted; 47% in U.S. not paying their Fair Shares of Federal Taxes: 

By Marc Chamot

However, one segment of the population, are openly, and wantonly not paying Federal Taxes, but are Getting Away with it.

“By most estimates, 46 percent of American households had no federal income tax liability this year; either because, they didn't make enough money or their credits, exemptions and deductions exceeded their tax bill. Some filers without an income tax bill even got refund checks from Uncle Sam.

“We live in a world where only 53 percent of Americans pay federal income tax, 47 percent pay nothing,” the Minnesota congresswoman recently said in Iowa.

Sen. Roy Blunt, a Missouri Republican, also insists it’s a mistake to allow some taxpayers to pay no federal income levy. “I do think you value what you pay for,” Blunt said. “Whether that’s co-pay at the doctor’s office, or actually having a stake in the income tax system.”

“The poor need jobs, and they also need to share some of the responsibility,” Republican Sen. Orrin Hatch of Utah said last July.”

Ah! You’ve got it, Senator Orrin Hatch; you hit it right on the proverbial NAIL! By poor, do you also mean the (poor) immigrants?

Back around January 2010, I did this story; Billions in Tax Dollars are going Uncollected; Legal/Illegal immigrants are 30% more likely to start a business than non-immigrants, represent 16.7% of all new business owners, and they are the least audited by the IRS: “I will talk about another subject that’s been bugging me for a while. Actually, it’s been brought up to me a number of times by some concerned American citizens, from Arkansas, Oklahoma to California.

The problem is, Federal, state and local government’s tax cheats from skyrocketing legal and illegal immigrant owned businesses that the IRS ignores, and possibly billions of dollars in tax dollars are going uncollected every year.

According to a recent study; are Immigrant-Owned Businesses Surviving Better than Most?
“According to the Small Business Administration, Immigrant business owners total about 1.5 million in the U.S., representing 12.5% of all business owners, and that they make huge contributions to the U.S. economy.” 

But NOT exactly; “A report released in November 2009, by the Small Business Administration Office of Advocacy showed that “immigrants are nearly 30% more likely to start a business than non-immigrant’s, and they represent 16.7% of all new business owners.” In some states, more than 30% of all business start-ups are from immigrants.”

Growth of immigrant OWNED businesses has been phenomenal, but tax revenues in states like California have not. While tax REVENUES is declining all over, immigrant businesses are GROWING. This must tell you a lot of what’s going on, that new immigrants are not paying their fair share of taxes!

“But there might be a pattern that tells the whole story; it’s about their possible new sources of revenue that is going totally unchecked and ignored by these governments. But should you, our politicians and the IRS take notice? Absolutely, everybody should.

Here we go again with the inequality enforcements of laws, to favor a minority group over the majority. JUST LIKE the illegal immigration issue! Lax of enforcements! There is no doubt that real born American owned businesses, black and white, from the East Coast to the Left Coast, are the brunt of all IRS audits.

As time have gone by, I’ve been seeing far too many legitimate American owned small businesses, smaller national chains, and so forth, shuttering and going out of business, and their locations are rapidly being replaced by immigrant owned businesses.

This is the case here in San Francisco. Over twenty years ago, the Mission Street corridor from 16th Street to Geneva, Irving Avenue, and the Richmond District, all used to have a number of legitimates American owned businesses, but as times have evolved, the economy have soured, and as immigrants began to invade the city in droves, and California for that matter, they are all there somewhat thriving and paying these high rents when others couldn’t.”

But the BIG eye popper, and the skinny behind all of this, good portions of these Asian and Latino businesses, are small mom and pop operations’, which do not provide sales receipts; nor accept checks, and debit or credit cards for their businesses and that raises a red flag. There are many of those, even in higher end rent areas of downtown San Francisco.

From Chinese restaurants, which number in the thousands in San Francisco, Hispanic bodegas and Taquerias, to Korean and Arab owned corner liquor stores, many don’t hand out receipts, they are all ‘cash only’ transactions. 

“And to top it all, a good portion of those businesses don’t have bank accounts, for the government to trace back on their income earnings. It’s an all strictly CASH business, without any form of verifications on incomes and if taxes are being paid at all.

What we need to ask is, “how can they afford those high rents, when they are selling cheap imported products, mostly unknown brands in a specific smaller market, when the previous renter was an IRS legit business and failed to make it?”

If you’re wondering where Social Security and Veteran’s Benefits moneys will be coming from when it runs out, it definitely won’t be coming from them, that’s for sure! If they are that poor to pay their fair share of taxes, they DON'T belong in this country!

More on are too many paying no taxes at all? Issue is getting a hard look “It’s a standard line in Republican presidential candidate Michele Bachmann’s stump speech.

Other Republicans and conservatives have echoed her concerns, suggesting tax reform that could include a required minimum payment from almost everyone.

B.S. Artist of the year! “All Americans pay taxes,” Citizens for Tax Justice, a liberal public interest group, noted recently. “Everyone who works pays federal payroll taxes. Everyone who drives pays federal and state gas taxes. State sales taxes affect everyone who shops and state and local property taxes affect everyone who owns or rents a home. … Most states have income taxes.”  Baloney's!

The argument over the federal tax structure is expected to move to the center of the presidential campaign next year. It’s already part of the debate over the federal deficit, and GOP candidate Herman Cain rose in the polls after proposing major cuts in federal income taxes and a new national sales tax as part of his 9-9-9 proposal.

Republicans want to reform taxes for a variety of reasons, of course — lower tax rates, for example, would spur job creation, they say — but many also think requiring an income tax payment from everyone would make the system fairer.”
