    Dear Lee, I wasn't implying that most people on the list aren't
    declaring their income. I really meant that I didn't expect an
    answer, because the only people who would answer are people who are
    "legal." And many people don't declare their income because they're
    barely making it. I admit I don't place an absolute value on honesty,
    so I don't have the same sense that you do about this issue. 

    Lisa PS: Most of the artists I know who work in other media are
    having a really hard time, despite working "day jobs," and many of
    them hide as much of their income as they can.  I don't find this
    morally objectionable, given that we live In a country that refuses
    to support the arts (something which I do find disrespectful and 
demeaning).
