I do not want the hassle of reporting any income from a blog because it invites the IRS into your life in a big way. My opinion is free, and it always has been. Even if you don't ask for it. And...if you want to pay me, then I have a rock, under a tree where you can leave my cash. Until they do away with it. That's how they are going to get us all in the end.

Ya this whole thing stinks of more big government encroaching on citizen free speech and trying to find more ways to squeeze cash from the hard working fingers of citizens. Then calling it a “fine” for not letting the machine monitor us.

Remember back like under Obama they had a secret snitch on your neighbor, friends, mom and dad who disagree with his policies?

And on the other side of the aisle (sort of. pretended to be a conservative) the invention on homeland security. For our sake.

Just like having to register ANYTHING with the government. Somewhere along the way we have forgotten that we can tell them to p*ss right off. Slowly but surely, thread by thread then piece by piece we will be left with "you will own nothing and be happy".

I’m right there with you. We need to get the govt out of our lives. That’s why I keep saying give an inch and they’ll take all of it and more. They don’t get the benefit of the doubt anymore. Disbelieve everything they say and do until proven otherwise. And it’s everywhere. Locally too. HOA’s (the little local dictators), permits for absolutely anything you want to do to property you own, tax every single thing they can think of, fines, fees, control speech, biden regime having access to when we withdrawal more than a certain amount out of OUR bank accounts, trying to tax garage sale earnings, now you can’t use electronic transfers between two parties like Venmo or what have you without being taxed on that, and the list goes on and on and on. Total and complete control over every aspect of our lives. “You will own nothing and be happy” says who!
