Upcoming Supreme Court case : Can you resell your own stuff???

how do you tax a barter system?- and what would be the loop holes?

John Roberts is a republican. This is a republican initiative. Therefore if John Roberts is a "traitor" he will vote against it and it will fail.

THe republicans real wet dream to stimulate the economy is to kill off public libraries. This will force people to buy rather than borrow. Also resale of old items would hurt libraries too, because a lot of libraries are reselling old books dvds and cds to subsidize their budgets.

So remember little republican sheep, buy buy buy, because it's all going bye bye bye real soon.

I sorta meant traitor to the USA, recalling his evasive trickery to get Obamacare upheld in the SCOTUS.

Well most of these judges were hired by Bush and Reagan.

So let's wait for the vote to see...

This is actually aimed straight at barter systems. You don't even tax them, you make it impossible for them to exist by preventing barterers with matching trading desires from finding each other, by outlawing their internet ads.

you must recieve a mark to buy or sell

I've been thinking recently about how short life is and, on average, how much of it we spend working. I decided to do some calculations and see exactly how our time is used. If we consider that an average working week is 40 hours then that equates to 1,960 hours per year once annual holidays are deducted. That's 22.4% of our lives, not including any overtime that we may be required to complete.

I took it a step further because I was intrigued how many hours that we spend working in an average lifetime. This is where things really add up. Allowing for school and tertiary education, let's assume that the average person begins their working life at age 21 and retires at 65. That's a career that spans 44 years. If we use the same 40-hour working week we arrive at a figure of 91,250 hours!

That's a huge amount of time and accordingly it's a huge proportion of our lives that is consumed in this way. The average human life expectancy in developed countries is 78 years, which means that we sleep for about 205, 000 hours. All our other chores and tasks have to be done in the remaining time which means that there's often very little time left for relaxation and leisure.

I could go on quoting facts and figures but I'm sure you understand the point. It all begs the obvious questions: "are we happy with this?" and "does it really need to be this way?"

no, that's not what the "mark" is...it's the belief you have in your mind...when satan offers you all the money you want in exchange you have to pledge your soul to satan...ya gonna do it? in other words, if you use satan's money, you've taken the mark of the beast...you are following satan.

if you refuse his money bribe, and barter for what you need, you follow Christ....who will always provide for his sheep............you just have to not be deceived by the money game satan is going to play on you.

One word...unenforceable!

how can they enforce any constraints on a barter system? think about it...2 people make a trade of goods or services; how is any official going to know about the trade?

they won't....this is simply a stupid piece of legislation..it's UNENFORCEABLE. people will barter no matter what the court says....nobody can stop them.

You try to sell your house and the Chinese will demand a sales tax on every item of theirs on/of the house....

It will be tacked on to extra sales cost of a certain percentage likely.

maybe you can't resell your own stuff, but maybe you'll be able to rent it??!!
