One of my friends used to own a landscape business. He had lots of
latinos working for him with questionable papers. He filed all the
FICA forms and paid the taxes to avoid that "jail" thing.
Every year the IRS would send him a form letter with the names and
SS#s of the questionable employees but there was no action required.
it was just an FYI thing to be sure it wasn't simply a typo.
It said right on the form in a "black box" bold type
"Do not use this report as a reason to terminate the employee".
They knew that was tax money they were collecting and they would never
have to pay out.
I suppose there is a homeless guy living in a dumpster somewhere who
reported a million dollars in 100 jobs across a dozen states.

Well, let's hope it's not a dumpster and it's not likely to be a
million dollars but, otherwise, exactly.

The poor schmucks that are paying into our system that'll never
collect may the social security's saving grace.

Both of them? Don't think it will make much difference...
What would help is if our leaders would just pay their taxes...

The SSN thing would have to be fixed for anyone who actually files
taxes, that is why I suggested it had to be a homeless person or a
dead one.
