Here in Santa Monica, if you wash your neighbors pays you $20 to wash his car, and you report this as extra income on your taxes, the city will hunt you down and force you to pay a yearly 'business license' tax. Minimum $75/year, first time fee $95, then $1.25/$60,000 gross business after that. So the company doing $3.6 million in business pays $1.25 more than the guy who washed a car once.

Really encourages hobbyists!

If I hear that 'render to Caesar' line one more time...
