should be reported. Whether it should be taxed or not is another level of the discussion. But - how is that ever to be determined, if it is never reported?

And, yes - despite your obvious 'grievances' against the 'corporate CEO' - in my own mind that does not offer exemption to the lower class and working population. We should all be 'reporting' (within the constraints of common sense). And Ebay (although no particular target or offender) - is a fairly good example of a situation wherein those 'records' are already easily and readily available. So ... Why not .. ?

Just cannot come around to the idea of cheating and evading the 'system' amounts to any sort of greater good - (regardless the many rants against the 'corporates' )
