[quote=Anonymous]I moved here in 1996. I guess I imported poverty too. I worked as if I got paid $100k. In reality I often didn't get paid the minimum. Countless other laws were broken along the way like not paying for training, no breaks ever, underage workers. 
Three business owners didn't put me on payroll. I had ss number and no objections to payroll and paying taxes. Few others never met the minimum wage requirement. 
It was not my job to make sure they pay. They were supposed to pay the IRS and me. I was supposed to pay the IRS from what they pay me. It all went to the pockets of owners who went on to open more businesses or retired. Nobody wants to tear down a business in America. Business owners are heroes here.
You want your money, go get it from businesses. Leave people alone. None can climb up the ladder or educated themselves if they are worked to death for minimum wage. I have gone to ER straight from work because working conditions. 
I am not exactly uneducated and I barely made it out of poverty.[/quote]
