[AccessD] freelancing job sites-Sisyphus Syndrome

We have been having the same issues around here for years. The government
wants to make sure that you are not working as a full-time employee for
someone but only registering as a contractor.

That method of circumnavigating taxes became common until the government
stepped in. It is death and taxes...your death, their taxes.

That's been forced by the feds. I just went through a long and rather 
intimidating "qualifying" process for one of my clients -- at the time I 
only had 2 and the majority of my time/income was with them. That was a 
problem for them because they don't want the feds denying my contractor 
status. Ugly business... I wish the feds would stay out of my business. :( I

was just furious, but it was necessary. It use to be so easy. :(

In the end, it wasn't a problem, but it was uncomfortable for me. They asked

questions that were none of their business and I didn't answer. It all 
worked out, but geez Louise. :(
