I was once interviewing a guy for a job, the job paid cash. He had a full-time job working at a state mental institution and made pretty good money. Nothing major, but pretty good money. He told me that he wanted to get a secondary part time job to put together more money to put his kids through college but his accountant told him that if he did, his tax rate would go up and it would actually cost him money to work a part-time job. Hence his interest in cash only jobs.
Nobody should be punished for wanting to earn extra money.
