“A friend of mines daughter won a new Mini Cooper valued at $20,000. The tax she was going to have to pay was near $10,000. She was offered the car or $10,000. She took the money but probably lost half of that in taxes.”
Ok, but that’s not Oprah’s fault. I don’t know the particulars, but I do know the tax liability on winnings is high. But if you say you’ll give me something worth $20k that I’ll owe $10k in taxes on, bring it on. In fact, you can give me as many of those deals as you like, and I won’t complain!
My point is, Oprah is racist and she picked a side in the 2008 election, but in previous elections she had refused to pick sides. For that, among other things, I find her to be disgusting. But to complain about non issues sort of seems silly.
