“What – you just can’t admit that I’m right?!?
Let’s say he owns a grocery store – the customers don’t file 1099’s.
Let’s say he does appliance repair – the customers don’t file 1099’s!”
OKAY YOU ARE RIGHT. But please explain how he can open a grocery store which is licensed by either the state, city or county if state law mandates the suspension all government licenses for deadbeats. How does he pay suppliers, landlord and staff without bank accounts. The same applies to an appliance repair business which must be licensed by the New York City or the county at least for Long Island. How does he go to repair jobs if his drivers license is suspended.
An easier way is to move to Canada and the deadbeat can earn a normal living. But he still has to live in fear of the State tracking down. There was a case in Israel and they tracked him to Texas and sued him and the US and Canada has a closer relationship.
