Punishment? Huh, didn't know the tax man doesn't want me to make money.

Do you even know what the IRS is doing here? They aren't punishing anyone. This is them literally making sure people pay the proper taxes on the profit.

Did... did you read the title?..

The article is stupid and doesn't know what they're talking about. Literally anyone who sells anything over $600 must report the sale to the IRS and pay taxes.
