It has come to the point, you cannot go cash the check at your clients bank, without having an account there yourself.

I hate the government stealing my hard work, for their profit.
I don't know of an American soul, can't wait to pay their tax bill, or is mad at what FICA gets every month.
True, go to a consumption tax and everyone pays their fair share, no more loopholes or hiring money, for anyone.

Yep wanting to get paid under the table is tax avoidance. Then have the audacity to demand others pay more.

Could you imagine if government went after drug dealers to pay taxes on their profits. After all, it is their customers are costing the tax payer billions. How much tax revenue is being lost there. There would be war.

And one more time you show your ignorance, they do go after drug dealers for filing false tax returns. That is why some actually do report their profits, the IRS does not pass the information on to the FBI or other Law Enforcement Agencies so long as they get their pound of flesh. You seem to Assume that those paid cash are cheating, ever think most are low income and it does not matter if they file the few dollars people pay they would still end up getting more back than they paid in, nice eh.
I do see that you are really against those evil people making a couple of dollars under the table but have no problem with business owners making thousands by cheating, there is a word for that, hmmmm I believe it starts with H P O C R ..., something like that. You have fun now.

Bwahahahhaa.

As long as taxes of any kind are involved there WILL be loopholes, and people hiding from it. Your fantasy that a consumption tax would be different is fascinating.

The government does tax drug dealers. It's a tax collected under the table. No receipts or forms allowed or else you'll find out where Jimmy Hoffa is.
