Government can tax anything they want. Even the babysitter and making change from a stranger.

- logfromblammo 13y agoAttempting to strictly enforce tax on such transactions would probably cost more than any revenue generated.
- penguindev 13y ago... and the government cares about that why?
- logfromblammo 13y agoGood point. If they outsourced the enforcement to a private contractor, the contractor could charge the government 10 times the actual operating expenses, keep any tax actually collected as an incentive bonus, and their employees would be underpaid with worthless benefits, so they will be constantly surly and take out their frustrations on the filthy tax evading scum. There's no downside!
