I don't know Mike. I only know what I was told about unreported income being a problem in the backwoods. However I do have a lot of Texas relatives who don't it hard to believe, about someone else. (smile)

There's always a few sleazebags at the upper end of the scale, doing cash deals, reporting enough income to keep the auditors off and cooking the books. You have them everywhere. And country people, do a little farming or woodcutting, get seasonal jobs, odd jobs at the sawmill or fish plant, do some trucking, whatever. People like that sell some firewood to a neighbor or a couple of shoats to the guy down the road or replace an engine in an old truck for somebody in the back yard, it never gets into the books. I don't personally know any of the former (although I knew such a guy in rural Massachusetts 40 years ago). Maybe I just don't get out and around enough. Big wad of cash, big house, big dogs, lotsa guns -- sounds like Texas to me. :-) - Mike -- Michael Spencer Nova Scotia, Canada .~. /V\ [email protected] /( )\ http://home.tallships.ca/mspencer/ ^^-^^ _______________________________________________ Futurework mailing list [email protected] https://lists.uwaterloo.ca/mailman/listinfo/futurework _______________________________________________ Futurework mailing list [email protected] https://lists.uwaterloo.ca/mailman/listinfo/futurework
