A lot of work goes into helping these players find success, and not all of it is done by the players. In fact, there are many cases where the players seem to be working against themselves by doing stupid things. I do think many players are unappreciative of what they have and carry a sense of entitlement that something is owed to them that isn't. Most don't consider where they would be if not for the game. Simply playing opens doors that many will never get through.
 
Employees aren't sent 1099s. Contractors are.

Besides, do you pay taxes on your employer's training, insurance benefits, and fringe benefits? Of course not. You pay taxes on the money going into your pocket. There are a few, but rare, fringe benefits for most employees that are taxed.

If employees had to pay taxes on their "true cost" to an employer, they would freaking revolt. Fringe benefits comprise about 30-40% of most employee costs...imagine getting a 60k salary and paying taxes on 100k.

Yeah, I'm a contractor and it can be brutal at times. If I wasn't able to get on my wife's insurance I probably wouldn't be able to do it.
