That's what I was thinking. Classifying a worker as a contractor who
holds substantially the same position as another worker you classify
as an employee, is a good way to rack up a hefty bill with the IRS
(for employment taxes, penalties, and interest).

A lot depends on the reason for having an independent contractor. A
person working outside the United States is better treated as an
independent contractor to avoid complications with United States
employment and taxation laws. The distinction can be defined
differently for election purposes than for employment law purposes.
