Waxman Calls for Investigations of Blackwater Tax Dodge
"It was a pretty neat trick. Because Blackwater classified its guards in Iraq as independent contractors, the company saved possibly "tens of millions" of dollars in taxes.
A number of senators called for investigations last October. But House oversight committee Chairman Henry Waxman (D-CA) says that his staff have been digging and now it's clear: Blackwater is wrong when it says that its guards fit the description of contractors and not employees, and that dodge had much bigger benefits than a simple tax dodge."
