Ensure that tax-dodgers are subjected to the same treatment as undocumented workers.

Created by B.D. on July 24, 2014

With the renewed focus on undocumented immigrants, there has been much rhetoric, and very few actually viable solutions proposed.

The trend lately has been to call for the denial of emergency services, disaster relief, and others. The logic that proponents of these positions use is that undocumented immigrants do not pay taxes that such services rely upon for funding (untrue - see here: http://bit.ly/1jib8Rm).

I propose that we apply the same logic to those entities, both individual and corporate, who do not pay taxes.

If a tax-dodger has a heart attack, they should have their number blocked from calling 911. If the headquarters of a corporation who pays no taxes (like these: http://econ.st/1pNyfFN) is on fire, the firehoses stay on the reels and the place burns to the ground.
