      er, by default any profit is taxable for them while as a lemming you get a tax free $600 profit before it impacts you

        I’m pretty sure they pay effectively zero tax because they found some interesting ways to make their profit appear 0 on paper.

      Of course not. The system is specifically designed by and for the rich and powerful so that they get away with everything while regular people get punished for nothing.

      I don’t understand what your point is. Of course this doesn’t impact Ticketmaster. They already pay taxes on income generated from selling tickets, so nothing changes. I can’t tell if you’re just saying dumb shit to get upvotes from other idiots or truly don’t have a clue.
