[Always Right]

Once the Federal government is organized around collecting taxes on your sales receipts, what makes you think that the same IRS personnel won't be as aggressively dedicated to assuring that they get their cut?

Exactly, and read the bill. Who does the bill make liable for the tax???? The consumer. The consumer must have a valid receipt showing he paid the tax in order to shift the liability to the retailer. The bill also says if they suspect you owe taxes they can audited you. The biggest change with the enforcement is the new collection agency will watch your outputs more than your inputs.

Chicken Little has entered the building (along with Elvis).

Perhaps you could show us the wording in the bill that you claim allows the federal government (or state for that matter) to "suspect" you as a valid reason for audit.

Be sure to post it here.
