It's illegal for your employer to not take out a withholding, and if for some reason they don't it would be illegal for you not to pay estimated tax every quarter (maybe every months not sure)

A 1099 is for 'Miscellaneous Income'.

Wages are not 'Miscellaneous Income'.

You know. I somehow it doesn't make sense to me that you owe tax immediately upon earning your paycheck cause I'm sure you can just file it at the end of the year. At least in Canada. You have a paper before you start all your jobs asking you how the company will mange you deductions.

Then again. I'm not 100% about this and I really don't feel like doing a search on our poorly designed government websites...

I was tin foil hatting this morning about this. Fuck the banks. They take what's in your account, invest it, turn a profit, give you nothing for it and then they charge you a fee at the end of the month. I don't want that anymore, fuck that. I getting out of this circle of abuse. Everybody has a bank account. Nobody thinks twice about this. We all pay the fees like morons while they make billions every year off our backs so the CEO can buy yet another yacht... I'm telling you, fuck that. Why are we doing this?

That being said; do you guys think I can can just demand my employer to pay me in cash and then give me a pay stub for taxes?

Will this put me on a bunch of lists?
Have you ever asked that before?

Here we have a legal right to be paid by cheque, by direct deposit or in cash. Althout I'm not sure if the employee makes that decision or the employer makes that decision.

Food for thought.

Do you guys know?

I've been an independent contractor at several places... had to use a 1099 (by law).... and had to pay my taxes myself every quarter (they were not taken out of paycheck), so not sure what you guys are talking about... 1099 is most definitely used for subcontractors and independent contractors.
