As a contractor, who do you work for? Yourself, or the place at which
you're contracting?

As a contractor, who pays your benefits? Yourself, or the place at
which you're contracting?

As a contractor, who has your professional interest in mind? Yourself,
or the place at which you're contracting?

I honestly didn't think this was as gray a subject as some are making
it out to be. If you're not an employee (either full or part time),
then you are a business partner.
