No Taxation without Representation

Cal Political News: The state of California loses between $800 million and $1.2 billion each year from an underground economy of employers paying workers in cash, withholding taxes or engaging in tax fraud, a representative from the California Department of Industrial Relations told a state panel Thursday.
DIR director Christine Baker told the Little Hoover Commission that only about 85 percent of employers move into compliance after receiving a warning letter from her department.
Baker said the state loses “a huge amount of money” from employers reporting large numbers of their staff as having low wage positions, such as clerks, when their actual roles are higher up the wage ladder. That practice is often found in construction, restaurants, automotive repair and the garments industries.
The $1.2 billion figure also is derived from employers failing to pay into the workers’ compensation fund, which the state must backfill when uninsured workers are hurt on the job, and by employers reporting their employees as independent contractors and thus not paying for their benefits.
About 10 to 14 percent of the construction industry does not follow workers’ compensation requirements, said Baker. The frequency of workers illegally paid under-the-table is harder to quantify, she said.

Taxation without representation is against American tradition, and cheating oligarchs out of their taxes helps the California economy. Here in Fresno, Ca, we survive and prosper when we cheat Steinberg and Perez of the Undemocratic Party.

If the Oligarchs do not like it, then they have a solution, Draper and Six Californias. 

Now we have the chief Undemocrat in New York using the government for political attacks:

Fox: Conservative activist James O'Keefe is accusing New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo's administration of targeting his group with document requests and a subpoena, claiming the Democratic governor's recent comments critical of conservatives "aren't simply words."
O'Keefe, whose Project Veritas is behind a series of hidden-camera investigations against left-leaning groups and causes, made the claims on the heels of the controversy over a recent Cuomo interview. In it, Cuomo blasted "extreme conservatives who are right-to-life, pro-assault-weapon, anti-gay" and said they "have no place" in New York. He later walked back his remarks, and said they were being taken out of context in the media.

How long before the GOP embraces a break up of New York?
