I was being facetious, simply making a commentary on the mentality of the hard line right towards people of different beliefs, ethnicities, and origins.
Many on the right believe anyone of Latin decent is automatically illegal. Many on the right also believe that if you are Latino in this country, the phrase "Innocent till proven guilty" does not apply to you. Even going so far as to think it's appropriate to arrest anyone of Latino decent, until such time as they can prove that they are in this country legally. (this from the same people who believe that Obama wasn't born in Hawaii as his birth certificate proves)
This is also from the same people who believe that voter fraud is rampant, mistaking voter registration fraud for voter fraud.
With this mentality in place so ingrained in the right wing belief system, it makes me seriously skeptical about anything they post.
How would your "dream system" identify illegal immigrants and protect American workers and American voters at the same time?

If corporations can do it in Bermuda and South Dakota, why can't individuals do it in Georgia?
Where's the news in this?

I did. Well...no, I read the article you linked to. I didn't read the IG report.
So you're saying that over twenty thousand individuals used the same address to get ~$2,000 each. How is that any differenty than the Ugland house in the Cayman's with 18,000 'entities' for tax purposes? How is that any different than the 285,000+ business' in the single story 1209 North Orange Street Wilmington, Delaware building?
Why is it that conservatives are more worried about one person taking $2,000 (even if they have a right to it), but are fine with one company hiding $20,000? Explain that to me.

Except that the uber wealthy wouldn't pay a dime. Yea, fair tax my ass.
Wouldn't they be paying taxes on their consumption? Do wealthy not consume? Maybe I am missing your point here...
Do the wealthy have some device that materializes their needs from thin air?
