    I mean, taxes are optional. You really don’t have to pay them. Lots of people don’t. There will be consequences sure, but you can totally choose not to pay them. And you don’t even have to fill out a form.

          You still need a job to survive. You just need to find one that doesn’t require a social security number and pays under the table. You know, like the jobs that all the immigrants do.

            A lot of undocumented immigrants have jobs that require SSNs. As weird as it sounds, many of them pay taxes. They get illegally obtained or forged SSNs and pay the same as you or me.
