Public Service Announcement for Small Business Owners
FBN’s Liz MacDonald reports that the IRS is cracking down on businesses that it says are misclassifying on-the-job employees as independent contractors. According to the IRS, it’s looking to stop businesses from classifying workers as contractors rather than on-the-job employees to skirt minimum wage laws and avoid paying payroll taxes, Social Security, Medicare and unemployment insurance.

The state of Kentucky has been doing the same thing from what I've heard. Can't have people finding work or small businesses surviving out there. I know it's "the law", but if we really wanted to help the country we'd use that trillion in useless spending on eliminating payroll taxes, esp. for small business.
As for the minimum wage, maybe people avoiding that law is a clue as to its economic effect?

Just yesterday I saw a gang of them wandering the downtown streets of Lexington, beating people on the heads and abducting them and forcing them to work for below minimum wage. Bastards.

When I was still an independent sales rep this came up often. The factories were always trying to demand things from us they couldn't legally do. But they would hold the contract over your head with threats of firing the agency
One company kept telling us they would not accept credit apps or orders that were not written on their forms in stead of our agency forms. Finally Roger had enough of it and told them if he wrote it on toilet paper they better accept it or he would turn them over to the IRS. Guess who won:). I had the same problem with an agency I worked for and finally sent him that 20 item list Darrell mentioned.
Because of those type problems many of the agencies started making their sales reps employees instead of independents, which also meant they could control the income
