In general, this isn’t partisan. It’s just how Congress operates when it comes to revenue and spending bills.

Thanks Raulus for being one of the few here who take the time to understand and respond to the questions being asked. I'm very impressed that you are able to do this without telling me what I think, what my motives are or what "I'm really saying". Refreshing.
Sounds like smoke and mirrors. All the goverment nets is a few casual sellers on ebay and the primary offenders continue business as usual (unreported of course).
While some speak of this as the end all be all tax evasion solution...It will actually do very little of that.
