Working under the table is not new. Infact, I presume most local establishments do it to save money, considering all the high taxes, unemployment insurance, medical and dental insurances, etc. Is it right to do? Most of us do the legal way of doing things. We fear penalties or getting caught. Fines and incarceration too.
So why does the practice continue? In another thread, someone mentioned seeing the "illigal cooks," in Chinatown eating outside. I personally know many others who work under the table too. They do it cause they either have income or benefit from a State Agency, SSI, Social Security, etc. That they just can't make it on what they recieve.
When I had my resturant, I got angry at the Pizza guy who came around selling his $5.00 pizza's. I lost a lot of business due to him. He baked out of his home, didn't pay taxes or the other things I had to do. He made money. One of the reasons I had to close.
If given the chance, I would work under the table too. Living in Hawai'i is expensive, anti-business and corrupt. Then again, I no like go jail.
