The American voters that thought there would be a tax rate of ZERO percent for earners under $50,000 was rolled for Trump's friends at the top of the income scale. I guess 10 percent of a dollar might begin to pay for a stamp for the USA government mail. The processing of a dime of tax costs more than that.

I am sincerely worried about babysitters. Not only do they get decent money for their services, but, do they then get 1099s? Do they know what to do with 1099s? What if they don't file? Dear god, what happens then? Do they provide tutorial services from the local elementary school to those students ambitious enough to earn money but not savvy enough to file with Uncle Sam? Does it go on their permanent school record?
