Agreed. Obviously, the tax code should be better enforced against wealthy people, but you can support one action without it meaning you don’t support another.
If you resell tickets for 600$ in profit, you’re not “the people”, you’re a scalper and I have no sympathy for you. This is a good rule.

And as long as they ACTUALLY do both, then it doesn’t matter.
But they don’t.
So it does.

On the other hand, if it’s worth your time to scalp tickets then you aren’t part of the upper class.

I’m not well-versed on the subject, but is ticket scalping not a large-scale business at this point? Like, yeah individual ticket holders can be opportunistic, but don’t bots buy tickets by the thousands as soon as they go on sale?

Most of those “businesses” are run by just one person, or maybe a few friends. And how much money do you really think they could be making?

With that logic, we can say scalpers are class traitors, then!

That’s just capitalists capitalizing. The IRS just wants a cut, not to stop it.

IRS isn’t in the business of stopping transactions (unless it’s money laundering) anyway
