Don, I'm always impressed by your knowledge of US law, politics,
taxation, etc. How does a person who has always lived in Nova Scotia
acquire skills like that? Most impressive indeed.- Hide quoted text -

BTW.. I realize you were attempting sarcasm with your comments on my

"a person who has always lived in Nova Scotia ".
That sounds more like something a Doper might say.

Where else have you lived, Coward?

I think he was just pointing out the obvious, that you have always lived
in a tiny little hamlet, read your tiny little hamlet newspaper, and
worked at your civil servant job in your tiny little part of the world.
Besides that, you really don't have any expertise or knowledge on any
subjects. I am sure you know more about Halifax than most of the other
people in rec.boats. You definitely read more of your hamlet's
newspaper than anyone else in rec.boats.

What can you expect from one who acquires his knowledge through 'the flood of American tv' he must
endure.

Clearly he should have spent more time watching Sesame Street and some
of the other PBS educational programming.

i bought a car last year....used...in NJ...i live in PA

the DMV in PA gets the sales tax which i sent them. they sent me a
letter saying i paid too little for the car and they wanted the
difference between the market value of the car and what i paid

gee. there are idiots all over. ever had to dea with comcast?

The states got wise to the $50 car sale years ago.

The tax man will always get his cut.




In Florida you can gift a car to a family member or a stranger and there
will be no tax consequences.

In many states... California is one.

When I lived in Toronto, many days we could get a couple of Buffalo
channels. My fav was a SciFi called "Lost in Space", not shown in
Canada at the time.

Having lived in the US, Canadian TV is worse off for the CRTC. Outer
Limits had the opening messages right about controlling what you see and
hear.

No argument US media too is a government brainwashing and propaganda
machine, especially CNN. But CBC takes the cake.

Don, the problem isn't that he doesn't understand or follow the laws of
the land. He is following the laws of the land. He had to fire the CA
consultant and do business with a consultant who lives in a state with
laws that are conducive to business. Since a consultant will never be
able to file unemployment comp, it does not make sense to pay for
unemployment comp. Bill is not depriving his employee of any benefits,
and is not breaking any laws by hiring a consultant who lives in a state
who does not require you to pay for insurance you can not or will not
use. I tried to type this slowly, does it make more sense now?

Nothing to stop the consultant in getting a company in his name, and you
contract with the company and not the person. And the consultants
company pays the state in which they reside, including taxes and
everything. Pretty common practice really.

But my guess is the contractor knew this too, and wasn't clean in the
paperwork. Many companies demand you are incorporated or a LLC or they
will not deal with you for this reason.

It isn't tough to do either, you get a company, a name, a bank account
in the company name, submit taxes to the state/fed yourself. Even get a
business credit card just for business expenses.

Actually you are the stupid one. Too stupid to get a raise over the last 30
years, and too stupid to realize they always check the value against the
bill of sale. Phony bill of sale price is common.

he thinks i'm the entire middle class because what happened to me

Simple. They figured you lied about what you paid.

He's a lefty like you asshole.

Like I said in another post. The states don't care what you paid unless
it was over the fair market value. You are going to get charged tax on
the fair market value of the care.

gee. that was my point, wasnt it?

reading not your strong suite, is it? oh...you're right wing....
