So you are aware, you'd be suprised how many actually do pay taxes straight out of their paychecks. Plus, they don't get to file for them back at the end of the year. I'm not 'illegal hugging' or guessing at this, I know this for a fact from multiple sources, some of them first hand. This is a big reason why they are hired. Companies know this, government knows this. It's just another 'talking point' to distract the people away from our real problems.
Of course, that's not all of them. There are some getting away with under the table pay, too, but then so are many of our citizens. Hell, I can't remember the amount of times I've been paid under the table.
