What benefits would the government (not the people) get from shutting down scammers? Scammers still pay taxes, and companies like Amazon that benefit from revenue obtained by scammers are major donors.
Also I assure you, scammers aren't honestly filling out I-9s and W-4s adding up all the Western Union receipts. They're scamming the IRS as well
Stating that doesn’t make it so. The US government doesn’t “represent” its people any more than the Chinese government does. Quite possibly less so.
It's damn near proven that the US representative branch doesn't give a shit about its electorate, within margin of error.
yours and mine.
