    Wonder how this affects the day labor guys? A lot of those guys prefer taking Venmo instead of being paid cash because cash was too dangerous to be carrying in the neighborhoods they live in.

      So in effect they mildly inconvenience those who use the system to avoid taxes. The gig workers that have been using Venmo will go back to cash. So will the illegals, sex workers, drug dealers, etc… making their lives more dangerous…

      In return, @George-K now has to have receipts for the 14 old items that he sold on Marketplace to prove he didn’t make a profit (I’m sure he has the receipt from that toaster he bought in 2006, right?) and now has a 14 new tax forms that he has to file. Of course, as that get’s multiplied across millions of Americans it overloads the IRS, requiring them to hire on thousands more employees and becoming even more bloated and inefficient:

      Yay government.

        I pay my son’s Spanish teacher using Venmo. Might have to change that now.

          So, it wasn't about going for the billionaires that Lyin' Joe said he needed 80,000 more IRS agents.

            I hope folks remember where this tsunami of crap came from and vote accordingly. The only way to fix the Democrat Party is to break it.

              Like I said, very little tax dollars will be raised and thanks to to the sheer bureaucracy that will be necessary to administer this plan, it will likely be a net negative…

                Or beat them at their own game.

                I'd be glad to go to 10 or 20 counties and vote, if ID is not required and my votes can't be traced back to me.

                I'd be glad to stuff drop boxes with 1000's of ballots that can't be traced back to a legit voter. And I'll recruit 1000's of my friends to do the same.

                I'd be glad to play the voting game the democrats do, if that's the name of the game. If those are the rules, count me in to play it, and play it better than the democrats do.

                  It's such short-sighted thinking. "If we do this, everyone will comply and we'll get SO MUCH money!". No, what will happen is you will increase overhead for financial institutions and cripple the march toward a cashless economy. As I said when PayPal starts asking for my SSN is when I cancel my account.

                          @improviso What I don't understand, is that in poll after poll, a vast majority of Americans are for voter ID.

                          Yet, doing away with it is a perpetual Dem issue.

                            I don't get it either.

                            The only reason I can think of is they felt it benefited them.

                            Remember the left having no problem deporting Cubans back to
                            Cuba? That's because polls showed they overwhelmingly supported conservative policies and would probably vote conservative, if they could vote. Dem's wanted nothing to do with that.
