ATR President Grover Norquist was a guest on CNBC’s Squawk Box today. He pointed out Hillary Clinton’s threat to “crack down” – her words — on independent contractors in the sharing economy.

Norquist said:

“Hillary is on the wrong side of history on the gig economy, the sharing economy. She wants everyone in America to have a boss. And what Trump and the others who are advocating for the sharing economy and for Uber drivers and Lyft drivers and Airbnb and TaskRabbit — all the various ways that people are choosing to organize their lives. It gives them more flexibility so they can work when they want to. Not everybody punches in 8:00 – 5:00. Not everybody wants to spend $1,000 of their income every year paying union dues to some guy who is supposed to be smarter and better than they are. They want to run their own lives and make their own deals. And that’s what Uber and companies like Uber have given to people.

And what Hillary has announced, she wants to take away with her ‘cracking down’ on independent contractors which makes Uber illegal. As they just tried to do in Austin. Watch Austin, that’s the opening shot by the Left against the sharing economy.”
