I drove by their boatyard, recently,
and noticed they ostentationsly displayed
an American flag high atop a crane.

However, good citizenship is more than
flag waving.
The poor and the middle class
are expected to play by the rules.

So should the rest of you motherfuckers.

Pretending that employees
are independent contractors
is not only illegal,
it's unfair to the employees.
Update 06/24/2005
Today, at 10:04 am,
I spoke with IRS employee 8903505,
a Ms. Barella or something
that sounded like that.

She took my report of IRS Fraud
committed by
Kevin's Quality Marine
401 Broadway
Sacramento, CA 95818

The fraudulent practice
at Kevin's Quality Marine
is to run an ad in the paper
for truck drivers
and then hire the truck drivers
as employees,
but tell the employees
that they are independent contractors.

That is what they did with me,
and I would be committing a crime
if I went along with it.
Besides, it is
to the employee's disadvantage
and the employer's advantage
to treat employees as
independent contractors for tax purposes.

Besides, I believe that,
because of my outspokenness
on political and social issues,
that I am targeted by various groups
who try to entrap me.

I can never be SURE,
in any specific case,
but I'm not going to give
anyone the benefit of the doubt
when they try to get me
to do illegal acts.

Today, 05/13/2005, I called the IRS
to report employer tax fraud.
1 800 829-0433

I spent over an hour
on the phone,
and spoke to at least
six different people,
and still wasn't able
to report the tax fraud.

On my second call,
I started writing down the times
of my calls.
My second call was
at 10:49 am, Pacific Time,
so let's say my first call
was certainly before 10:45 am.
I disconnected at 11:53 am,
an hour and 8 minutes later.

I called 411 and got the
IRS Fraud number
1 800 829-0433

I spoke to
(name followed by employee number)
Kohler    0797376 first, then
McCloud   7643332 at 10:49, then
Augustine 7644188 at 10:57, then
Horton    3109362, then
Bennett   9107695, then
Meeks     3109359 at 11:17
until 11:39, then
I called back the Fraud number
and waited on hold until 11:53 am.

I got nothing but a runaround.

Last summer, I responded
to an employment ad
in the Sacramento Bee
for a truck driver
and was hired as a truck driver
by Sean at

Kevin's Quality Marine
401 Broadway
Sacramento, Ca 95818
916 492-6500

By any standard,
I was an employee,
but they are saying
I was an independent contractor.
This is fraud.
But, I spent over an hour
on the phone trying to report
this fraud to the IRS,
and got a runaround.
