Depends on how much you’re making. This guy has probably been below the poverty line the whole time he’s been in this country. If he’s been making less than the Basic Personal Amount income tax credit that anyone can claim, he wouldn’t be paying any tax even if he’d been doing everything by the book and above-board. If he wasn’t very far above it, he’d have been paying a pittance—probably less than he was paying out in sales taxes for everything he bought over the course of twenty-odd years.
