haha yeah.
In this case, the government is really protecting their tax revenue rather then protecting people. Development contracting is one of very few industries where "contractors" make up a large portion of the workforce but do similar work as their employee counterparts...but make more(sometimes)

So as more people get into contracting, the fewer income tax revenue the govt receives from these people.
