let's make the threshold $60 instead of $600

Do you even know what the IRS is doing here? If an individual makes more than 600 in profit on anything they have to report it and pay taxes. If you lower that to 60 that would just be incredibly annoying for the majority of people to deal with on a daily basis

anything more than the gas to deliver a ticket is a scam

I have to report a $1 profit if that's what I got from selling market shares. $60 is way too generous.
