Another key advantage is tax arbitrage. If you can make $800/day, that's because you have a certain skill set, you can't send a random college student in your place to collect your earnings for one month and pay almost no taxes. You have to pay your taxes on one $150k income.

With progressive taxation, if you get 12 students to redeem 1/12th of your winnings (for say 5%), you're paying taxes at the lowest level (likely even 0%) rather than the 35+% you would be if you had to claim 150k on a single tax return.
