    But that's my point. The representations of the unintended consequences may be listened to.

    The complaining of the intended victim will not, IMHO.

    And the point that I made previously is, if the latter are too loud the former will be drowned in the noise.

    First they came for the income shifters, but I said nothing, for I was not an income shifter.

      You have to question why anyone would want to belong to a group that makes the government look relatively competent!
      That's an interesting take on a single issue...
      And it neatly ignores the bloody nose dished out during the Arctic Systems case.
      Personally, I'm quite glad that there is someone out there who can represent contractors at the highest level.
      Of course, and as I have said before, YMMV.

        I don't like the term "income shifter". Sounds too much like c-ockney rhyming slang for "shirt lifter".

          Perhaps "Family Business Tax" would be more your cup of tea?

            I agree with the sentiment, but couldn't come up with anything succinct to include in my adaptation.

            First they came for those that legitimately shared income with a partner or other connected person to reduce their tax liability, but I said nothing, for I did not legitimately share income with a partner or other connected person to reduce my tax liability.

            Doesn't seem to scan right for some reason.
