Do you think the US Government is going to monitor EVERY Yard Sale in
the US?
Cash transactions don't show up on your taxes....thank God.
Sounds like grasping in desperation, to me.

Tommy Boy is trolling. Problem is, he isn't very good at it. Just laugh
at his attempts.

I suppose the provinces/municipalities could help out by requiring a short
term license to conduct a yard sale and expect you to collect and submit
HST/GST/PST whatever...

How are you going to advertise your Yard Sale? Some government
functionary is going see your ad or sign and is going to put your
address on a list and the owner of the property is going to receive a
letter demanding a "calculated" tax payment.

What about the kid running a lemonade stand? Does he need a license to
sell lemonade for 25 cents a glass?

Depends. If it is a right-wing kid, the lemonade probably should be
inspected by the board of health to ensure it isn't poisoned.

It's simple. Someone with a clipboard shows up, shows an ID, and says "show
a permit or close up shop."

"And if I have to come back here, I WILL hurt you."

He will as soon as "O" realizes that there isn't an endless supply of
money to give away to his cronies. He's going to have to raise money
somehow. Taxes or runaway inflation. maybe a combination of the two.

Great way to kill the young entrepreneurial spirit.

The Fed may not, but the local towns might and then forward information on.
In our town a permit is technically required to conduct a yard sale.
Without one, they can shut you down.

It's not a stretch to imagine permit data being forwarded to a database.
