This just pisses me off no end, the only reason they are doing this is so people have to shop in retail stores!
First they made it so you could only hold one garage sale a year, if you did more than that, you were considered a business and had to pay taxes.
Is the IRS so desperate for money that they have to get $12 of tax money of some poor slob who's emptying his attic?
Then in the bigger cities, you have to get a permit to have a garage sale.
The govt needs to get it's big fat nose out of our business!
