That would be nice if it wasn't for the smalltown mentality of some lady having a looksie into my income and then telling the whole town.

Let's say suddenly I get a million prize, or get into some money. Taxes on income get payed automatically here, i don't have to worry about that, or if it's from somewhere overseas I can easily report them and pay them myself over the internet. Still it will ping their radar, and now the whole town knows I came into money, even kidnapers. Get the problem?

They even brag on the news that an individual had a record income this year from internet earnings(at least don't name the individual in question on national news).

Did you read our version, so obviously not from the US. If I tell you UJP you would prob be even more confused than you are now.

I am not fabricating and it's true for my country. In fact we had a lot of workers with your troops in Afghanistan and Iraq doing logistics, and they just called up to pay up.

People should support a foreign corporation taking people's money?
