Not only that, the Employer would be responsible for the pollution made by their Employees presence.

HAHAHAHA Before they shut down the EPA let them file suit in Federal Court against these agitators and their Employers for Pollution on Federal Lands and of a Major Waterway.

BOOM!

For sure! Assuming they actually get paid, of course.

This is true. There were more than a few verified reports that the paid agitators in Ferguson DIDN’T get paid.

There were some unhappy folks there, for sure.

Wow this is wonderful. All these protestors are being paid in this country and not paying taxes while the rest of us bite the bullet. Come on Trump admin; make lemonade of this.

Payment to the protestors can come in different forms from
actual money to, housing, transportation, food, etc.

To be sure, some few among their number would be doing this for free, but that only applies to the relatively small number of “trust fund babies” who do not rely on income from a third party.

Most of the “idealistic” youngsters in the crowd have no such resources, and the winter cold shall take the toll on many of them. Therefore, there has to be SOMEBODY paying a stipend for them to face the rigors they would not put up with for ten minutes in their own parents’ homes.

Life is hard enough without complicating it with stupidity.

All taxable as income.

They are NOT Contractors! All these Advocacy groups are DIRECTING THEM. That means they are Regular Employees and these groups need to be Arrested for Payroll Tax Fraud.

That is a can of worms that should NOT be opened.

Excellent idea, and let's take it a couple of steps further, demand withholding, and complete paperwork plus petition President Trump to order the IRS to do the same, Federally, Then prosecute any that fail to comply, both employer and employee.

Then investigate the money trail using IRS and Treasury, and any Foreign employers that are not registered as foreign Agents are also prosecuted and funds confiscated.

“Love it! In reality, outrage for bucks should be illegal, not just treated like any other income.”

Your idea would put everyone in Hollywood and in the MSM out of a job.
