Mandy, I played in a band for a living for over 20 years and was married and living with different strippers the whole time. None of us paid income taxes. Not one of the hundreds of musicians or thousands of dancers I knew. BUT we did "pay taxes" everytime we bought something at the store. Cash business never pays taxes. I know plenty of guys who have made a lot of money as antique dealers at flea markets selling for cash money and they have never filed income tax in their entire lives. And I'm talking about guys in their late 60's.
There are literally millions of people who never pay taxes, never collect social security or medicare or any of that govt. handout stuff. Just go to a flea market and you'll see folks making a pretty damn good living with a cash business that could care less about taxes.
I'm one of those guys who thinks we should abolish the income tax anyway and go with national sales tax. Then all the cash people would be paying taxes...and the more you spend the more money the govt. takes in.
But the govt. is greedy and wants that "Prepaid" spot. lol
