Yes, I _do_ have a problem w/ tax evasion as a general premise. Whether
I have or haven't ever slipped and done less than an ideal action on
occasion doesn't seem to me to be of any import nor concern or yours,
either.

Exactly! I'm not living your life - I have my hands full with my
own. That's all I was suggesting about the issue at hand. Don't try
to live a contractor's life for them.


I intended to make a comment on this in the other response before I quit but inadvertently snipped more than I intended.

You seem to be thinking my response is mostly on some "high moral ground" basis. While "what's right" is part of it, mostly my objection is really quite pragmatic and self-centered. (Whether in the big scheme of things it is generally effective in making a difference is, of course, a totally different question.)

The point is, if I _were_ a contractor (I am self-employed and have been for some time so I can directly relate) doing business according to the rules I'd be far less than happy at having to compete against the guy who isn't. What little I can do to discourage or make that a little more difficult is only helping me in a competitive sense.
