>> They’re able to afford these things because they are actually receiving income, it’s just not reported

Everyone’s a drug dealer? Doesnt sound plausible. Or at least They’re getting so much income they can afford to run a fancy car (debt free because who’s lending to a person with minimal documented income).

I mean is that a poor person when they have $50k laying around to go buy a fancy car outright?

Something about your proposition doesnt add up in a really basic obvious way.

Where did I say drug dealer? Or is this the first time you’ve heard of jobs getting paid under the table?

And yes some of them had much more than $50k judging by their things. But hey, make them more wealthy. Some people are really good at gaming the system.

So that's not a poor person then, you said poor person but it sounds like you mean something else?

Again, you can be poor on paper but not actually poor. It’s called tax evasion.
