But the arguements here have come from the perspective of the customers, not the retailers. Unless you own a business subject to this act, you have no standing to argue as a business owner. If you are and do, I will point out that you file a tax return every year. If you don't, I will tell you to shush and go find a better arguement. Unless, of course, you're saying we all own part of the businesses that we patronize. In that case I will ask you who is really the liberal here?
Filing a tax return listing your income is different than being forced to compile a dossier on your best customers. Putting aside the constitutional arguments, people have objections to being tracked, catalogued, and monitored. Such things are inconsistent with a free society. Your mocking portrayal of those who disagree with you as "mulletheads," "pips," and "constitution warriors," is unflattering to you, and makes you seem less like a learned counselor and student of the law, and more like the obstreperous ninnies at DU. At least that's what THIS counselor at law thinks.
