I see your point and respect your position but disagree with the logic. In one example you are an employee, in the other you should be running a business and the two are not equivalent in pay, process or responsibility, so trying to treat them as they are is improper. IMO freelancer is just a label for an employee with no benefits, no protections and full tax liability. Consultants (or dev shops etc) generally build real businesses and are treated considerably different.

Those (including 400K employment) are just different names for what is essentially a business deal between two parties - as long as you provide the value satisfying the second party, and as long as the second party pays the agreed amount - it shouldn't matter whether any of you live in Thailand or rent a duplex on Manhattan.
