But remember, this guy sold his on Ebay, so not only is he whacked for around 15% in total Ebay fees, he's on the hook for Biden's new income tax fee on the total sale price of the lens. So that's around $14,000.

It would be on the profit, so 50K, minus what he paid for it originally,
minus transaction fees.

Odd that in the US the spenders are the GOP red states. The Blue states
pay the taxes that the red states spend.
Meanwhile the main focus of the GOP wrt the IRS is to defund it so it
cannot audit the rich..
