[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]15:56 here.  I understand what you say because i[b]t was my experience in California that EVERYONE, vendors, service providers, nannies, wanted transact their business under the table to avoid taxes.[/b]

A furniture I used would label their goods as services, a jewelry store wanted to be paid all cash, the nanny wanted no part of employee taxes -- it made me uncomfortable because I have always been aboveboard in any tax matter.

How can it be that so many people in this country have no sense of obligation, duty and honesty when it comes to taxes.

Frankly, it makes me believe that even our newly legal immigrants (after the immigration reform act) will still prefer to get paid off the record. [/quote]

[b]Not EVERYONE[/b].  I've lived here for 30 years and always paid my nannies and housekeepers on the books.  Every jeweler, electrician, painter, pool cleaner, tree trimmer, gardener, etc., my DH and I have had a license and been paid by check and invoiced.  I think your experience is NOT representative of most Californians.[/quote]
