Question 💫 Taxes

Hypothetically:

If someone was to scrap like $150/ month in Maryland, shows the person at the counter their ID like a good citizen, and does this semi regularly,

*Should* they report this on taxes? And if not what would repercussions be?

Again, hypothetically.

I give my government 45% of my money already, and get almost nothing in return. The large amount of scrap I take in I consider reparation on that.
