eBay Nation and the Golden Goose

Let’s all have a rousing rendition of the old Beatles song TAXMAN!

Okay, not long ago I wrote a column noting that eBay was catching up to WalMart as America’s largest employer. I guess that was the kiss of death. At least, now I learn that North Dakota may require people who sell on eBay or other online “auction” sites to get an auctioneer’s license.

What a piece of crapola! Read the whole article. Even if it’s from the Alliance designated enemy Glenn, it’s well worth checking out, since experience teaches that any method one politician figurees out toe increase the take, will rapidly act like a virulent virus and spread to lots of others always on the lookout for an excuse to take a more of our money.

If North Dakota swallows this, it’s sure evidence that the weather up there has caused massive brain freeze in the state governmen up there.
