Income is income.You pay taxes on income.No one gets a free ride.Or shouldn`t. Income is not rarely just income. Therein lies the problem.
The self-employed contractor and the W-2 employee can perform substantially the same work but incur vastly different expenses. Is it fair/equitable they be taxed the same?

Any disparity imposed means the rest of us,those who pay income taxes,must take up the shifted tax burden.
The classic populist argument. The counter is that an expanding economy and expanding tax base can more than compensate.

By the way,didn`t McSame vote against the taxes cuts and only recently "flip-flopped"?
Yes he did.

What changed?
The tax cuts got enacted anyway. Doing away with them now raises my taxes, so I'm quite at ease accepting his explanation of that shift.
"raises my taxes"
Well jump`n jehosaphat,I don`t want you paying less tax than I do,thank you very much.
I don`t care who you think you are,you should pay the same tax rate as the rest of us,on any income you get .
Tough cookies.
"at ease accepting his explanation of that shift."
What was his expanation for voting against the tax cuts?
And again,what has changed?
