>>34670874>and hence are taxed higher I believe.They’re not, they just get to see (and eat) the cut that is usually paid by the employer before the wage is even paid.
In my euro country social security “contribution” paid by the employee is 11% out of his paycheck, but the employer has to pay 27.5% on top of it without docking from the employee salary.
Independent contractors have to carry both sides of that equation, sometimes at a “discount” but way over 11%.
