Geoff is a perfect example of a landscape company owner who cheats on his taxes. I worked for this cheat 5 years ago and he paid us under the table. Zero benefits. No unemployment benefits no Social Security payments nothing. He charges the same rate as a company that does pay tax on the employees. Geoff put that money in his pocket leaving the employee with nothing to fall back on if they lose their job or when they ultimately stop working later in life. The one thing I can credit Geoff for is that he didn't hire illegal aliens while I was there. Business owners who cheat paying tax must feel as if they are above the rest of us. Screw your employees and screw the federal and state governments. When Geoff pulls up in his new truck remember how he pays for it. A real low life on a couple levels. I worked for this cheat for 2 or 3 months before enough was enough before Geoff got sick of my complaining about not paying tax leaving us screwed out of any unemployment benefits or paying into the Social Security fund. For Geoff its cheaper to pay income tax on his payroll than to pay the cost of operating a legitimate business. Go ahead and hire this cheat. I guarantee if you ask him to provide proof he has a legitimate payroll he will say something like they are given a 1099. This is intended for a company to hire outside contractors to fill a temporary role. He does this for everyone who works for him. He puts the money in his pocket. A real American.
