Maybe it is the System
So, two high-profile individuals have been diligent in paying taxes and have hired a maid who is undocumented or whose papers have expired. There is no excuse for making such pathetic mistakes while the rest of us actually have to pay the piper should we make a similar mistake.
Interestingly though, you would think that people might be thinking that the system itself could be screwed up. If two highly thought of Liberals can make such mistakes, then couldn’t the system be a bit too complicated?
