screw corporate America, go get those e-bay sellers IRS!!!

1. Well, tracking those HFT computer banks at hedge funds

is really, really hard!

They're just going after the low hanging fruit, people who try to fudge nickels and dimes.

Too bad. They'd get billions if they went after those damned hedge funds!

2. my accountant told me I could sell my possessions on E-bay tax free because I was not buying things

to sell, but selling things that have already been taxed

3. I think you may need a new accountant

[geek tragedy]

5. devil is in the details, how much, etc.

If you're moving $30,000 a year, probably gonna get taxed.

Moving $300 a year? Probably not.

12. the most I ever sold in one year was 5K

I really find e-bay not worth it anymore, haven't sold anything there for years, but it was good when it started until they had the auction sniper and the bidding wars stopped.

I was selling property of my mother's estate, collectibles and music boxes.

6. Take to the sea!

4. We are likely only at the very beginning of revelations like this.

We are finally turning over the rock where the surveillance state lives, and they have been operating with a great deal of entitlement, arrogance and contempt for our Constitution for quite some time now...

Thank you, Edward Snowden.

9. this article was written in April

has nothing to do with Snowden.

Also read the whole article.

[woo me with science]

11. Yes, I know it is from April.

I posted about it then.

It has EVERYTHING to do with the surveillance state to which Snowden has brought desperately needed attention. They have already indicated their lack of respect for the Fourth Amendment. They should not even have access to this technological capability.

7. I'm now bartering

I traded some frankencense and myrrh along with some exotic Japanese cheeses for gas at my local Shell station.

15. Duzy!

8. Wake America up when we finally get to Police State status

Oh wait, we're there already.

10. best to read the article before posting

they are going after cheaters. Are we against that now too?

[Fumesucker]

13. Niagaras of money flow through the financial markets, a babbling brook through Ebay

I think the complaint is that the babbling brook is the one getting scrutinized first or at all when there is a far larger flow of money remaining unexamined.

14. can't tax those rich assholes

they're job cremators, doncha know?
