"Americans who slap $1 pricetags on their used possessions at garage sales or bazaar events risk being slapped with fines of up to $15 million, thanks to a new government campaign" - Diane Macedo. I’m almost positive you are just as shocked as I am to hear the idea of a policy such as this one. That leads me to my first question, WHAT THE IS THE GOVERNMENT THINKING!? I am open to both perspectives to this matter, but you may want to consider the impact of expanding the limits on government intervention on certain issues. Some may argue that this is critical measure of safety that should be taken despite personal inconvenience. Well I have one word of advice, don’t fall under pressure. It slowly begins with a campaign, then the adoption of one policy or law, and soon enough we find ourselves trapped within the cell walls of extreme regulations. Policy after policy, our rights gradually begin to fade away into superior hands. My second question derives from the severe penalties the government tends to impose on households. The article lists certain fines with the tied amount according to the laws violated. My second question is, why are we being fined or penalized for something we didn’t even produce? We become most vulnerable when we start to believe and agree with EVERYTHING the government wants us to believe. If we don’t show any initiative now, we are in for a RAW awakening in the near future.
Take a look at this article whenever byou get the chance!
