When I file my taxes every April (or earlier for me actually) I'm legally reporting my FAIR share owed to the gov't from my wages and THEN some.
When you refer to folks like myself as 'tax cheats' you're pretty much putting us in with others who are guilty of tax evasion! In a nutshell, for example, the governor of my state is a businessman first, politician second. His goal was to reinforce the rainy day fund w/o resorting to raising taxes... it's that simple. Some are politicians first, businessmen second so they want to burden the taxpayer to grow the pot and then spend, spend, spend... causing a a dysfunctional economic system which ripples across the land.
I can sit here and try to convey how the gov't should not over reach to drain my savings because it's imperative for them to spend my money before they even get it. A responsible democracy ultimately & ideally consists of officials who represent the citizens' concerns & ideas, so in essence.. a gov't can still function efficiently through compromise and that would entail keeping the burden off of taxpayers without absurd strongarm tactics. Someone commented & blatantly summarized it.. the reporting delay affects entities required to issue 1099-K's.. no changes to individual taxpayers (ebay sellers)!
You're inevitably going to respond to my comments, my thoughts, my feelings of where I stand on this subject (and I'm darn sure others will agree) so go right ahead.. you're free to spout.
Thanks!!
