Three rules of government.
If it moves, tax it.
If it keeps moving, regulate it.
If it stops moving, subsidize it.
And people want to turn our health care over to morons like this.

I have no idea why you think unviersal healthcare has anything to do with the state government of Pennsylvania or why you trust big business to take care of you.

I think the threatened amount of fines are excessive. However, I really don't have a problem with requiring someone who runs a business out of their own home to pay $50 a year to the gov't for that. There's a difference between selling your own crap, and running a business selling other people's crap.
If I decided to open a consignment shop and sell stuff locally, I couldn't do so without going through a little bit of red tape - at the very least, I'd need authority to collect on sales tax. A $50 annual fee doesn't sound like it's out of line.
$50 probably isn't out of line, but what's the government's interest in someone's home based auction business? Is it consumer protection? Regulation just for regulations sake? I'd rather not have anyone just blindly accept fees and regulation from the man.
I would imagine for consumer protection - to make it harder for someone to simply take the money and run. And, it would probably work in her favor as well - it would make her business appear more legitimate. Who would you rather do business with - a stranger working from their own home? Or a stranger working from their own home and was registered with the state?

pennsylvania has an occupational privelage tax... this is to ensure that self employed people are justly taxerd with the rest of pennsylvanians.
