From personal observation, they skirt the laws to the limits, when it comes to maintaining the requirements for that tax free status. They pay the citizen next door to drive the van, that is Amish owned, to drive them to jobsites where they use power tools, to do the same jobs as tax paying citizens, using unpaid child labor, paying no taxes, and undercutting the price of the tax paying tradesmen to do so.
They do undercut, due to being paid in cash and avoiding any income tax.
There are quite a few that work in lumber mills, around here.
I think they are required to pay income tax and social security.
But yes, they do a lot that you mention.
Oh... most of the vans around here are owned by the driver.
