   (Much ado deleted.)

   You restate my original point, 1706 is barely relevent if you find
   your own clients.

There's no double-blind here! The fact that John can find enough
clients to keep *him* happy does not mean that there are not potential
clients out there who will absolutely not deal with independents --
won't even talk to them on the phone -- because their lawyers said it
was tax trouble.

   The only relevence is the fear, uncertainty and doubt amoung
   potential clients, and these aren't all that hard to overcome.

This is certainly a limited perspective. Say you're a manager. Who are
you going to be most influenced by, a slick-talking techno-salesman,
or your company's legal department? (Remember, if your consultant
screwes up, legal tells your boss, "We told him not to do that!")

It helps to be in a rare field, but for commodity contracts (C, COBOL,
Unix sysadmin), they're going to do what's safe.

I congratulate John for his marketing acumen, and ask him to
sympathize with those who wish to farm that part of their business out
to a subcontractor (that's all headhunters should be), but the IRS
won't let them.

Does anyone know why the IRS seems to have such a burr up it's *ss regarding
computer-folk? I really do not think that computer-folk are any less
(or more) honest than the rest of the country.


[Of course I really can only speak for myself -- I am just as honest when I

Also, if the client has invested some of their own money they have more
of an incentive to market the product.  It's amazing how a little money
spent improves people's attention to things.

BTW, in my experience, I've run into problems with 1706 and "common
law" employment criteria only with the very largest firms (DEC, IBM,
Wang, Prime/Computervision). In general, the startups and the
medium-sized companies have either never heard of 1706 or don't
consider employment classfication (independent vs. employee) to be an
issue. But that's just my experience...
