Do you Pay Taxes?

[rickyrey]

Is there any place around that pay you enougn to buy disc, maintain and buy equipment and loudspeakers? Is there anyone fair enough around where you can see some profit wthout giving up to those low budgeted pirate thieves?

All of my equipment
I bought it with hard work

I have 801 discs x 15.00 = 12,000
All of my discs
I bought those with hard work

All of my gigs
got them with hard work

But I can not help but to think

Do owners and party planners really care about quality, experience and pro equipment? They are willing to pay for fancy food and beverage, rentals and decoration but the one that keeps the party going is forgotten.

From now on I will not do low budgeted shows, I had been around 17 years now (since cassette karaoke) so I will not disrespect my skills and experience any more.

And on top of that you have to be ultra honest and pay taxes for every cent that you so hardly earned.
Any opinions about this will be truly appreciated.
