I can see this being fair if she is using ebay and selling. My business was always part-time and I rarely, if ever made a profit. Didn't matter. This is how it's been in Philly, which is why so many self-employed moved to the suburbs and only the courageous live in the City of Brotherly Love where murder and violence is so rampant that it rarely makes the news.
BTW, I am not defending this tax; I'm just explaining.
And they WILL catch you, sooner or later, and ignore the mob and big drug dealers. Lots of dirty cops, too.

Bad Penny,
Am I correct in understanding that the point of your post is that many of today's unions have been hijacked and are in cahoots with the government and/or the corporate owners?
If I have missed the point again, would you please break down those compound-complex sentences and $5 words for me ? (Remember when we used to call them 50 cent words ? )
Although Sr John Bertrand OP used to punish us by sending us home with 50 of those sentences to diagram, my fibromyalgia has fried a few of my synapses.
Despite my PhD training, after years of helping to heal the working folks, I no longer have a posh vocabulary. If you don't use it, you lose it. In my case, this is true.
As usual, all the best ! ; )

PS Great song !

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Labor_history_of_the_United_StatesO my ! I wrote a serious piece on my experience with unions and FORGOT to SAVE it ! I am too distraught to rewrite it now at 10 pm. Let me briefly say that: I am a strong UNION supporter. I have always joined the UNION where I worked. I have NEVER and will NEVER cross a picket line. My UNION REP helped me receive a just settlement when I had to leave my last job because of illness, when my manager preferred to believe I was a disciplinary problem. I truly believe that even a bad UNION is better than no UNION at all. Check out the above link. Do you know how many people have died in the USA in order to help workers organise unions ? Way, way too many. They were our grandparents and great-grandparents and believed that they were making America a just and great nation. IMHO, they were right.

I, too, have reached the end of my tether with these fundie so called Christians who seem to have an answer for everything. They have NO place on a forum like GlobalGulag, condemning others and preaching conversion to small mindedness religious bigotry.
I was in a religious christian school for 8 years of my life and NEVER heard that God makes you do anything ! That was what the gift of free will is for, which also implies taking responsibility for my own actions.
Those fundies think I am a demoness because I practice the WRONG flavour . Well, my flavour says we all have an opportunity for an afterlife, that people discover the Divine in various ways and that we each walk our unique paths to become more complex human beings.
Give me Christmas! And easter! And all the wonderful holidays that celebrate our humanity intermingled with the Divine .

I live, shop, eat, play and talk with Muslims on a daily basis.
the muslims i have spoken to, understand that the usgovt is after their destruction, NOT the american people.
Then i read sick stories like this.
I agree with the writer of the article: As Christians we are called by Christ to follow the golden rule.
