    the ones from verifone Do in fact have a "tamper detected" error if the device is tampered with in any way, in fact it can be a little to touchy at times. It does not "brick it" per se, but it does have to be sent back to verifone for reprogramming and the store is sent a new one. at least thats how my experience has been

    not that your fear is misplaced but perhaps you should do a little bit more research on the topic. Square devices are just as secure as those fancy pin readers (disclosure - I work for a pin pad company now) When the card is swiped in a square device, the owner of the device has no electronic record of the numbers to keep for his own use, just like a store does not have a card number to keep for its own use. Sure a hacker may be able to break the encryption and get the information, but it does not seem that likely, no more likely than putting a skimmer on an ATM or gas pump anyway

    generally a logged in user will provide proof to back himself up, as to not look foolish. when hiding behind the AC, more likely to spout off at the mouth rather than provide facts.

    the problem is the facts dont back your claim. for example, not ALL black people are bad and commit crimes, statistically they commit more crimes than other yes but even then its still a small minority of them who commit crimes, yet that is what is generally reported

    same is true here, the information is easy to find, the majority of home schooled kids are not running around thinking the world is only 6K years old, its just those are the ones we see in the news.

    ok i see how i may have misworded it a little bit however the point stands. I shouldnthave to pay taxes on something that I gain on money that has been taxed. In other words that money i have invested means i cant spend it anywhere else, its tied up and i should see the gains on that without the government getting involved. tax those gains i will find somewhere else to put my money. gold for example

    well lets put it out there since alot of you like to talk about how good or bad it is without talking about it.

    I work, I save up a few hundred bucks. that money is taxed as income. I then decide I want to invest it, in say apple or MS or tesla or (insert whatever wont get your panties in a bunch since this is only for argument sake)

    I then take that already taxed income and use it to prop up another business instead of spending it on xx or YY

    why in the hell should my money thats already been taxed at income levels be taxed again???
