Isn't the average tax rate across the US about 5.5%
So lets see 250,000,000,000 + 5.5% = 263,750,000,000
So that's 13,750,000,000 in lost taxes for the feds, city and states. That's almost 14 billion dollars in money that could go to schools, police, fire fighters and more.
Even if that number was smaller lets say by 150 million. The lost tax rev is enough to have the feds act. -- Email/MSN: Michael at hardwaregeeks.comAIM: MikeR35292
