"If you aren't an independent contractor, you might wonder why this is such a big deal. Here's why:

"Or, at the very least, we'd be allowing the government to eliminate a perfectly valid career path that's lifted millions of people out of poverty and helped them accomplish the American Dream."

"Who works as an independent contractor? Think:
Barbers/hairstylists
Truck drivers
Writers/editors
Photographers
Entrepreneurs
Artists/designers
Consultants
Fitness trainers
Wedding planners
It's a heck of a lot more than just rideshare drivers."
