Tax eBay?
Who is more stupid? Is it the apparatchiks in government who thought up this idea of taxing eBay or is it the people subject to the tax?
Starting with those silly people, again they show their lack of principles and knowledge. On principle why should anyone be forced to give a cut of the proceeds to government for selling something they have held and maintained by themselves? In this case, apparently the government will simply add the total selling price to their yearly income and one will be taxed accordingly. I've heard no mention of deducting any costs for maintaining or originally purchasing the item itself. That Barbe Doll and G.I. Joe did after all cost something originally. So what? The taxman wants a cut of the whole selling price and the actual owners of the property can eat the costs. This is not done with regular storefront businesses because that has been done already and it kills the business. Look at Cuba for example. The same thing will happen to eBay. Everybody will head to craigslist.com and new sites not even dreamed of yet.
As for the government they do not care if this emerging market is crushed as long as what's left they still get a cut of. In fact, for us little people, the government is just dieing to take away the keys to the Internet. The Net was supposed to be a way for the elite to profit more efficiently as well as consolidate their control. Who could have dreamed of all the application for commerce and counter attacks by the people struggling to free themselves from the bonds of the elite rulers? So for the people the government wants us to go back to shopping in stores or if online then comply with the controls that will permit taxation.
Naturally, the thieves in government are starting small. You have to earn over 20 grand a year or sell over two hundred items a year. That excludes most eBuyers and sellers from the tax - for now. It's the classic camel's nose under the tent. But tell that to Ann who I used to work with. She sells books on eBay and generally sell 20 or 30 a month. Guess what? She is going to sell over 200 books per year and will receive a 1099 now. This woman is barely making it as it is. Right off the bat she was snared in the monetary scam run by the Federal Reserve Board. She bought a rather run down home for her family to live in at the height dollar bubble when the Fed bankers were hyper-inflating the dollar. Now that house isn't worth half of what she is under a Mortgage contract to pay for it. This fiat Fed money scam is simple to pull off right under the nose of most people but that's another matter. What matters to Ann is she is barely keeping it together now as it is. She has medical problems and her husband is pretty much disabled and unable to work. Those books she was selling were making the difference in her existence. The government adding 20 grand or so to her official income then taking a cut will no doubt finish off the woman and her family. The same fate awaits many other desperate families just getting by.
Even though I don't like eBay and consider them part of the elite new world order, taxing them and Amazon.com is an outrage especially now. Why do we have to give a cut of everything we own and every transaction we engage in to this politburo royalty? This royal den of thieves is not even American now but rather a cabal of foreign bankers and industrialists. As it is these pirates already own all of the natural resources and best location on the entire planet. They own currencies like the dollar, euro and pound then rent it out to us for a percentage by over printing devaluation. In other words, whenever they make us up a batch of money they always make a little extra for their own use. When not officially sanctioned by government it is known as counterfeiting. But this is not enough if you are driven by greed and a thirst for power.
So the royal bureaucrats will in effect tax our electronic yards sales taking their third to half of the profits for doing nothing. Why do the elites do this and why do the people let them? The people accept the thievery because they either have been deceived into thinking stealing can be moral at times or they just don't understand the scam which rob them blissfully blind. As for the elites they do these, what would seem like counterproductive things, because they are in competition with other world players at the top. The Chinese, Russian, Western European/US/Japan/Australian oligarchies for examples are constantly struggling for dominance but on the backs of their people. The people in all of these nations and others are played for suckers, cowered into sheep and milked for labor like cows so that the elites can play their games for power.
However, while the Internet is still functioning as it does now the people of the world have a chance to rebel and cast off the chains placed upon them by the ruling elites. Their operation is completely worthless without compliant people especially in the military. So we the people of the world workers' union have very basic demands.
WE OWN OUR TIME, BODY AND FRUITS OF OUR LABOR. BUREAUCRAT ROYALTY KEEP YOUR DAMN HANDS OFF OF OUR STUFF. DON'T TOUCH OUR JUNK EITHER. FINALLY, DON'T TELL US WHAT WE CAN USE FOR MONEY. THESE DEMANDS ARE NON-NEGOTIABLE. UNTIL THESE DEMANDS ARE MET OVER THE ENTIRE PLANET WE THE PEOPLE OF THE PLANET WILL RESIST AND NOT COMPLY.
