So I get to CHOOSE to spend it the way I WANT by GIVING it to an ex wife. I don’t see that as spending it the way I WANT to spend it. I’d rather give 200K to the government and keep 800k in my pocket than give a million to an ex wife just to keep 200k in my pocket.

I don’t see where this is confusing. Let me try and explain it this way.

I’ve got $2,000,000. I give a million to an ex wife. That leaves me $1,000,000. I pay uncle sam 20%. That leaves me $800,000.

Or I tell the ex wife to go to every tabloid she can find but she ain’t gettin’ squat from me. Now I’ve got my $2,000,000. I pay uncle sam 20%. That leaves me with $1,600,000.

Ever hear the saying “Liars figure but figures don’t lie”? Not calling you a liar but the way I see it $1,600,000 in my bank account is better than $800,000 in my account and $800,000 in my ex wife’s account.

On top of all that, even if I did give her a million the government would get the $200,000 from her anyway. They’re gonna’ get it one way or the other.

I agree that it’s our money. But we can’t seem to find enough people to elect to office who agree with us.

I was responding to your original wording (regarding write-offs, I'm from a family of CPAs). On a personal level, as one who had an ex-wife cheating on me and is now chasing after vast sums of money that I don't have, I agree with you.

I still think Tiger is a good guy and this is a witch hunt.
