I love how the dems scream in hysteria about taxing the rich out of the side of their mouth
and then introduce a ridiculous authoritarian law that sets an insane, 1984 style precedent.
you guys who are saying this "doesnt matter" because you aren't taxed if you dont make a profit (as if that somehow lessens the terrifying Orwellian-ness of this) aren't getting the big picture.
These items were purchased new, and taxes were paid on them. If you have the right to tax an item everytime it moves hands privately, you can use the IRS as a weapon to target literally anyone you want to, because you make all sorts of transactions like this ALL THE TIME without even thinking about it. Obviously the IRS aren't going to waste their time with you making 200$ on that cab you picked up at the pawn shop, or whatever..... thats obviously ridiculous.
But eventually, they WILL use it as another tool to fuck people over who dont bow down to GloboHomo©.
Obama used the IRS against against his ideological foes, and gave us the first taste of this a few years ago.
This is insane government overreach, and honestly pretty scary shit.
