Letter: Cab drivers make an honest living

Friday, Dec. 30, 2005 | 7:53 a.m.

This is in response to Paul Vogler's Dec. 22 letter headlined, "IRS should look into driver kickbacks."

As a driver for Checker Cab, it pains me to see someone who has little knowledge about the cab industry expressing an unjust opinion about our money. Our money is regulated by the Internal Revenue Service, as a certain percentage is being taken out as per our agreement with them.

Vogler's letter, which indicated that we cheat on our tax returns, is without merit or thought. What he failed to realize is that throwing out idle thoughts to the Las Vegas Sun hurts our public image.

I will say it for the last time -- for the amount of money that we have transported through this town for years so that the rich can become richer, I insist that we are underpaid and under-appreciated. I will never make any excuses for providing for my family.
