[QUOTE="bacha29, post: 3494760, member: 58386"] I will still believe that the downfall of this little game will in the end be.....taxes. Over the past number of years the IRS has had to endure significant cuts to it's operating budget. The result is that it has to pick it's spots when it comes to who to audit. Because of those steep cuts when it comes to collecting the taxes owed by so called "contractors" they've had to resort to correspondence audits in an effort to get them to pay up. Limited success. A well publicized estimate of the amount of unpaid "contractor" taxes is approximately 450 billion. This in turn leaves Congress with two choices. Either fully restore funding to the IRS or pass legislation that more clearly and more narrowly defines just what is an "independent contractor" thereby making it harder for companies such as X to continue to abuse the "independent contractor" model. In fact a few months ago there was tossed around the idea of companies who employ "contractors" withhold taxes in the same manner they would it's own employees. Needless to say it hasn't gained much traction. Command and control and tax evasion will be the litigation drivers in the days ahead if Congress at the urging of Treasury finally moves. Don't think it will happen? When the deficits start piling up it can get things moving. We saw that in 1983 . [/QUOTE]
