>Not all self-employed people "bill" in the sense that a consultant does. How about a Mom and Pop retail store, for instance? Or a contract carpenter that get paid a flat rate? They all have to pay the same taxes they would if they were working for someone else. I'm not sure why that's a problem. >You live a sheltered life, Z. That's why you are a liberal. You have no idea how the real world works. I do? Anything but. I grew up always not knowing whether or not we'd have a house next month; where my parents were working their asses off and yet the bill collectors were calling and threatening every day. I decided at a very young age that that wasn't going to happen do me, and I got some good opportunities and took them. I put myself through college while working 60+ hours a week. I haven't had a year in the last ten where I've averaged less than 65 hours a week at my job, and have taken all of one vacation of longer than four days in the last twelve years. I'm now working past midnight every night to raise the money to keep 10 people employed and, in some cases, their kids fed. I'm not even 30 and I've lived nothing but the "real world." Screw off, TC. -Z
