You mentioned a very clear example where the IRS determined the classification of a 1099 contractor inappropriate and reclassified the worker as an employee.


Then senator talked about giving employees a 1099. You commented how easy that made things. His concept of giving an "employee" a 1099 is a contradiction of the legal relationships of independent contractor vs. Employee. It was also a moral contradiction to praise him and condemn the hotel.


His example is how the system should work in a free market system. I'm not throwing stones. Just pointing out how one sentence can cause an accounting debate.


Appearantly we all agree that doing business the way the IRS would want you to is cumbersome and to be avoided whenever possible. When I get more time ill talk about protectionist licensing etc.
