The Senate is voting Saturday afternoon on whether to end debate on the bipartisan infrastructure bill. That’s expected to pass, but what happens next is unclear — a number of disputes remain over amendments. Senators’ efforts to solve those could stretch into next week as the legislation moves slowly through procedural hurdles. Or it could all wrap up much sooner.
”…tax reporting requirements for cryptocurrency trading.”
I’m sorry, but there’s no legitimate basis for “cryptocurrency” whatsoever.
It’s nothing but a weapon for ransomware hackers, tax cheats, and Russian mafiosi.
The sooner we rid the global economy of this poison, the better.
Yes…and the other part of this story is tax collecting.
I repeat:
What occurs to me is that should we decide not to tax a class of assets, we insure that asset class is favored over others. We ensure the success of cryptocurrency as a tax dodge.
The BBC World Busness Report guys keep sayin’ “90% of cryptocurrency transactions are criminally related”. Most of that crime seems to be tax avoidance.
We never should have allowed Capital Gains to be taxed at a lower rate: should end that preference, and strongly tax the wealthy to keep their money out of politics.
But it’s keeping fish nice and warm…

Probably warm enough soon to start an algae bloom, and may it clog their intake filters.
Bitcoin is a cancer. Taxation and enforcement is the only way to get any kind of control over it, but I’m not hopeful that much can be done. It’s too easy to outsource to tax havens.
From that thread:
OT, but Karma is really putting in a full work week.
The proverbial ‘follow the money’ finally reveals itself.
So is Tuckems breaking any laws here…?
My non-lawyerly guess is that as the host of a political opinion TV show, he ducks any FARA violations with 1st Amendment protections.
I’d be looking carefully at the money involved. There’s likely to be a bit more than just his normal FauxNoise salary involved. This has a lot of red flags attached to it and I’m hoping someone in the intelligence community is monitoring this closely.
Cucker Tarlson has lived a largely consequence-free existence…which is about to change.
I fervently hope you are right!
If it was 18 GQP, what Dem didn’t vote yes?
Wow…the second RW radio dude to be hospitalized with Covid in recent weeks after yammering about the vaccine. Anyone know if this ass has died, too?
An important thing is what Cucker Tarlson, himself, thinks. He is not NPD, like Trump, nor is he an ex-POTUS.
That puts his calculations more reality-based.
By a hair. But, in any event, dealing with Heads of State is moving to the Front Lines.
Yep, it could start a whole new meme.
