Reply to comment by igottagetoutofthis in IRS delays rule change for people who get paid on Venmo, Etsy, Airbnb and other apps by TerpFlacco

Why has nobody thought of this before!?

If people just always did the right thing, we wouldn't need rules, or debate on the rules, or the very definition of what "the right thing" is!

So you agree with the new IRS rule?

I think it's poorly thought out and targets the wrong people for possible small levels of tax evasion, instead of filling the deliberate loopholes in tax law that allow for massive tax avoidance.

My point is that how can you bitch about the rich not paying taxes all the while you aren’t? Everyone should pay their fair share, whether it’s the rich, or the working class.

Let's get the rich squared away first and then we can see how much we need to go after the working class. With the levels of inequality we've got in this country, one thing should be balanced in our favor.

I do pay my taxes. I work a steady blue collar job with payroll deductions, at a small business where I am well aware of how much tax the business pays as well.

That's exactly why I'm much more concerned with the big fish than the minnows.
