Do you have an alternative proposal to implementing income taxes then? Other than having the government have a record of every single transaction for everyone and automatically sending everyone with less than $x of incoming transactions a letter stating they do not owe income tax, I do not see a fair way of making sure people pay their taxes without having reporting and filing requirements.

The alternative is that the person that goes and gets a W-2 job for $600 has a mechanism which forces them to pay taxes, but the person that does odd jobs and gets paid here and there via an app has no mechanism to force them to pay taxes. How is that fair?
