Is the government's continual attempt to categorise "employment" as different from anything else, the source of many problems? Their urge so to categorise is so strong that they will not write down the rules, but rather attempt to make them up as they go along; each attempt, whether successful or not, being a cost to a citizen.
As a source of income, as a contract, as a relationship, it matters whether what you do is categorised as "employment" or not. Isn't this the government continually micromanaging, and indeed exceeding the bounds of its legitimate duties? Why not just let it be irrelevant whether income is from employment or a "different" type of source? Why not leave it unanswered whether a contract is one of employment or one of sale? Why not let the relationship between a contractor and a client be a matter for the parties concerned?
Why is the government a concerned party in everything?
