You THERE Bernie? CRICKETS

When does working for cash equate to not paying taxes?Only a crooked person would make that claim or assumption.
And drawing EI when you are laid off is what it is intended for,and why workers pay into it.

[quote=upstateNYU are the liar. Go look,,then come back and apologize.I was raised to NOT be two things,,,a liar or a theif,,you it seems,,, were not.

I can see why an employer might pay cash for Saturdays. Work 5 10 hr days that ten hours overtime pays pretty good. Work 60 and you give half your second 10 hours of overtime to the IRS.

I have always been able to negotiate my value to employers by myself. lol

In 19 pages of arguing has anyone been persuaded one way or the other? Just curious.

A guy I know pays his workers 300-500.00 in cash on Saturdays. Zero taxes are paid on that money, as compared to the taxes paid on their checks during the normal work week.

Doubtful,

Looks like he said you didnt know any better.
Thats not quite the same as calling you a liar.

Good one Bernie.
Why is it that people replace the diligence of critical thinking with.... "There was this one time at band camp" thinking?
We use to call these "I knew a guy once" themes >>> one offs,
but now because logical thinking in this age of information overload has been routinely replaced by emotional thinking....
it's tricky to have a back and forth conversation before the other person calls you names.

Oh well
Logical and emotional never played nice together anyway.

Back in the days when I lived in Germany, we had a VW plant in the town near where i lived. Everyone tried to get a job at that plant because of the pay and working conditions having a union job came with. 32 hour week, back then what would be over 40 bucks an hour in todays money. 8 weeks paid holidays and a bunch of other perks.

Then the same folks turn around and complain about the high prices VW wants for their cars. Some folks will never get it that there is no free lunch.

At the time I did the repairs and maintenance on a couple of high pressure washers that were used to cut the paint of the carts that carried the bodies through their automated paint shop. Yes robots became cheaper than actual workers even then. At one point they did not want to let me on the plant grounds because I did not drive a VW work vechile.
I told them that I would not sell the Mercedes or land rover I had at the time to buy one of their brand just to work on those machines. So for a while they had to take them out and ship them to me for service and repairs. They weighed about 1200 pounds and had no wheels on them and were connected to the power with a 380 volt fixed breaker box of their own. So one of their electricians had to disconnect them and re connect them when they came back. After a year or so of that game I got a permit to come onto the plant with my vechiles.
Just because of that attitude of them I would never drive anything made by the VW group.
