I've seen conservative estimates of the "underground economy" of 2 trillion dollars a year. If all taxes were collected and used to bring down the debt......... We could reduce all taxes significantly-----but dont hold your breath. How much money goes uncollected in Florida for the rental tax is anybody's guess. I know some believe it's an "unfair" tax and would like to see it eliminated or at least reduced. 9% is a hearty amount and few states have such a tax.
