I think most of those people don't understand what the $600 rule is and instead thought I was saying scalpers shouldn't be taxed on their ill gotten profits.
Personally I think it fair enough that government tracks larger undocumented transactions, but maybe the 600 is a bit low a threshold not to affect common people too much.
I see your point, but I am from Northern Europe, and “governmental overreach” has a very different meaning to me than this. Especially the tracking side seems absolutely understandable for larger sums, but I am in favor of a heavy, regulating government, so I believe there are ways to make that threshold and rules as to who and why has to actually get taxed for the transaction, a fair enough and just construct among others very much needed.
multinationals should be banned from making subsidiaries in tax heavens (for exemple, Ireland) The Irs knows this but lobbying money prohibits them from achieving anything substiantial
so many people are uninformed and overly biaised
