If you sell on Ebay this bill will ensure you pay your income taxes. If you buy on line this bill will make sure you pay the sales tax. Plus the little bonus of our friendly government knowing what you are buying. You know,spying on the citizens. I DESPISE Demorats! Bush said he will sign this bill. Looks like the flea markets will make a come back.

Actually, they want to know your selling habits. Specifically, they are interested in whether individuals selling more than $10k/yr or 200 items/yr are properly declaring income from these activities.

Why? 1) So they can adjust tax laws to get more. 2) to track people and make people pay more tax, 3) because they think we are stupid

The Democrat Congress’ Plan for Domestic Surveillence of Americans.

Obviously it’s a way to gague how much more in taxes they could impose.

I knew the answers before I asked my question. The next one is, what to do about it?

Payment Card and Third Party Network Information Reporting. The proposal requires information reporting on payment card and third party network transactions. Payment settlement entities, including merchant acquiring banks and third party settlement organizations, or third party payment facilitators acting on their behalf, will be required to report the annual gross amount of reportable transactions to the IRS and to the participating payee. Reportable transactions include any payment card transaction and any third party network transaction. Participating payees include persons who accept a payment card as payment and third party networks who accept payment from a third party settlement organization in settlement of transactions.

Well, pretty much anything can be bought on an electronic card sooo, Let's just go ahead and buy everything that way, one stick of gum, one can of beans, one burrito, one soda, one ink cartridge, one light bulb, one tire at a time. Just drown the bazdards in trillions of transactions. The store owners are going to go berserk on this as the fee per transaction is going to eat them up. They will hammer congress to get this dropped.

In the meantime, one beer, one quarter tank of gas, one comic book, one DVD, one ink pen, one backpack, one loaf of bread, one..., one..., one..., one..., one..., one..., one..., one..., one..., one..., one...

Next the Democrats will decide that the IRS can waterboard you to see if you’ve cheated on your taxes...

You have to remember what’s important to Democrats, like taxes, and what’s not important to Democrats, like national seurity.

Sounds like more business-socialist nonsense...and sounds bipartisan...especially if the GOP Liberal Bush signs it into law.

So much for free enterprise

Our credit card charges will go up to cover this expense.

Somebody heat the tar, I have a feather pillow and a 10 foot long two by four.

more business-socialist

Fascist, then.

Fascism is a "partnership" between business and government where the businesses provide the socialist programs & policies at the expense of the consumer, while the government protects any monopoly that that business has.

Dear Congress,
I live on Pinot Grigio, ramen-noodle soup, and peanut butter Tiger’s Milk bars. My cats will eat anything from a can. There’s little else to know. Please don’t waste any more time trying to figure out what I buy.”

I certainly do NOT think that the founders called for a Congress for them to be investigating my buying habits.

They are waaaay out of line with any of this waste of taxpayer money.

How I spend money when I have some and how I don’t spend when I have none is nobody’s business but mine.
When I win the Lottery, I will spend more.
Right now, with $4 gas and a fixed income, I spend less.
Who do these elite white tower people think they are, anyway????

I think Congress should explain their spending habits first.
