You can't avoid taxes if you live in Texas - legal or not

This post is especially for the person who wrote that undocumented people are leaches and don't pay taxes. I urge you to read this information before you decide to call people names again.


If live in the state of Texas, citizen, legal resident, or undocumented, you cannot avoid paying taxes. Why? Because we have a sales tax. Every time you buy something you pay a tax on it. Even if you buy clothes at a resale shop. Also, everyone has to pay real estate taxes, if you own, you have to pay taxes on your house - if you rent, the rental payment to your landlord has to cover his/her real estate taxes. Over 95% of undocumented people have regular jobs that take out taxes from their checks. Did you know that our social security system is being saved by undocumented people that are paying SS taxes but can never take them out?
