If the boss is not paid in cash as well as the employee than the boss will be paying taxes on it unless it gets worked into something else as a wright off.

It's always aggravating when I see about 1/3 of my overtime checks taken for taxes and deductions. Have a 2800$ week and take home $1900.

This year you will get a letter from Uncle Sam stating "Congratulations Providence" You now own another migrant or two. Just adding a little humor, however true.

If I had not had the service contract with Hammelmann ( the manufacturer of those high pressure pumps ) I would have dropped VW as a customer and told them to scrape the paint of those trolleys with a toothbrush. I had enough other customers that used those pumps. Like shipyards and companies that worked as sub contractors for those yards cleaning ships and submarines etc. So I could have done just fine without those two at the VW works. I was the only one in a 2+ mile radius that worked on those things.

If my company ad been union then, I would have had to have a hydraulic guy, and elecchicken, a plumbear and someone to do the paperwork. As a one man band that was not acceptable to me way of doing things. Ya see, when ya work on yer own, the monday morning staff meetings are a hoot.

Unions and large companies are to big to learn. they tend to loose touch with reality. Same goes for government and other big institutions. There is a point where corporate , union , government reaches a size where it is no longer attached to the base or the people that actually make it work and begins to try and serve itself. Lay a track if you think of it that way, put a train on it and fire it up. There is then no left and right no decisions that are off that track. invariable it will run into something and break.

Maybe for a couple of years or so; before the IRS decides to ask me how I can afford to live without making any money. Or until the IRS audits one of those entities paying me in cash and they payor tells the IRS who those payments were made to (me).

It irks me that often times wages earners aren't really aware how these things work; regardless of whether they are union or non-union employees. However, it seems that more times than not it is union folks who begrudge the non-union people (think Democrat Party).


I never said all cash transactions aren't reported. I stated this specific transaction is not reported. I also never stated I was opposed to cash transactions slipping by untaxed.

Guy gets paid cash from homeowners for weekend work, he pays his help cash with it as well. Only area the government got their cut was the customer paying tax to earn it and the sales tax when it was spent.

My only view on unions is the employees are just used as numbers.

I'll stick to self employment.

Unions are different. I wish ours was the type y’all talk about where you get paid big money do absolutely nothing. Down here if you don’t do your job, you get fired. All the Union does is sit in on the firing and shake their heads because that person was an idiot. Can’t fix stupid whether they are a union member or not. Don’t work, don’t have a job.
The only time I’ve ever seen folks standing around, it was either city workers or county workers. Didn’t realize Georgia was a big Union state being a right to work state. At least big enough to pay folks to stand around.

right to work is the difference

In union states they have a hard time firing anybody. every body is paid the same so the hard workers soon figure out it just gets them more work. do the least amount possible and get paid the same. I was telling the truth when i said that within 5 minutes I knew if I was at a union dock when driving OTR

You disappoint me Mark.I would think,,being a selfe professed man of Christ,you would look back through this thread to see who is actualy telling the TRUTH.But instead,,you agree with Bernie,,just because he shares your hatred of Unions.I would have expected more from you to be honest.Im sure that neither one of you care,,but I have lost any respect I had for either one of you.So you can go quote your scripture till your blue in the face,,but at the end of the day,instead of seeking the truth,you let your prejudice cloud your judgement.
