IRS Database on eBay Power Sellers Hidden in House Bill Too!

freedomworks.org — Trying to follow these bills is like a watching a game of Three Card Monte. This Congress can ’t even keep track of the legislation that creates the latest over-reaching government database. So how can we trust it with a new database of sensitive information about nearly every eBay power seller?

    Why is there no real debate about this??
  • NoBailouts, on 06/25/2008, -0/+2Do you think they'll ever just back off? I mean seriously.
  • cc1263, on 06/25/2008, -0/+3No wonder congress' approval rating is lower than the president. The dems might as well be the vichy govt.
  • bstein80, on 06/25/2008, -0/+2I guess they are just trying to get this thing through as quickly as possible before we can create an uproar.
  • acbrown, on 06/26/2008, -0/+1I guess when this Congress wants something they will do anything they can to get it despite the strong voice of the people telling them otherwise.

    The Founding Fathers are rolling in their graves...
  • vonmises05, on 06/26/2008, -0/+1Benjamin Franklin after the Philadelphia Convention was over was stopped by a woman. She asked him, "We have a republic now, sir?" He answered, "Yes madam", then paused and finished, "if you can keep it." If measures like these are passed and approved, the only ones at fault are the people. It makes no sense whatsoever for you or I to say, "I am too busy to check up on all that Congress does", when each and everything that happens in the House, Senate, the Executive and Judicial branches, effects our lives. When no one holds those in office accountable, who can blame them for doing whatever they wish?
