I've known "engines of the economy" and he's not an engine. Some kind of caboose maybe..
My observations are of the real world, as it exists.

Not some fairytale theoretical world where all employers are fair and just and all small businessmen are "pillars of the community", and all who dwell therein are highly moral, highly educated scientists, engineers and pious holy men. (And all who don't measure up to these standards deserve to live in squalor.)

I have a friend who got hit for cheating on his small (internet based) business taxes to the tune of $13,000. They rode his ass hard, had him scared to death for about six months. Threatened him with jail---the whole nine yards. But, he made earnest effort to settle his debt. In the end, they let him pay 10%, or $1,300 of the $13,000 and let him skate for the rest.

But, then, that was 12 years ago...............

He and his wife still have their business.....and pay their taxes.

I have no idea why you call yourself a crook.
