Sorry cback, 'they' should all pay income tax. Sure, maybe a token amount, but it should be highlighted on their pay stub, and it should be subject to changing, based on policy. Those who aren't invested in the process, don't value product, at all.
I agree completely with craigd here. Those with no skin in the game usually have no regard or respect for where the largess from those who carry most or all of the burden comes from. It's little different than the behavior of a teenager who wastes gasoline, food, utilities, etc., until they have to start paying for it.
When I went to a Donald Trump rally back in March of this year, I was talking to a black guy who had brought his daughter to hear Trump speak. One of the things he said that really struck me was that he said really understood why "you guys support Trump." I asked what he meant, and he went on to say that he meant meant white middle class people who were most likely to be working and paying to support all of the Welfare programs. I was very surprised to hear that, and more surprised to see that he wasn't happy with the status quo. He not only understood the anger and frustration with the direction the country was taking, but he was there to support Trump because he felt that he would do more to lift the whole nation. There's a certain dignity in working, producing, and contributing versus just taking, and I could see that this particular black guy knew that and wasn't happy that his people had been steered in the opposite direction.
