Coburn another Tax and Spend RINO

Where this tax will really hurt is the PGA and LPGA run a lot of youth and amateur tourneys and clinics that do not make money. It could kill a lot of those

Also, many golfers vote GOP...or used to vote GOP

If Coburn will tax PGA...he will tax other things

Their costs are high and margins are low and the nation economy is down.

Taxation would only place addition pressure to these businesses.

Why should they be taxes less than any other business?

Cut taxes for all business. The rates should be the same.

[The PGA Tour is close to raising $2B in charitable donations...]
The way money descriptions are thrown around today, $2B doesn’t sound like a lot to many people. But when you say $2B is two thousand contributions of one million each, it is easier for more people to understand.

No business pays income tax. The customers pay it. There should be no corporate tax.

The NFL and the PGA isn’t a business. They are a non profit organization, who take massive subsidizes and other advantages over conventional businesses and enterprises. They are favored over such entities.

Who cares? Golf is a rich man’s game anyway.

The NFL and the PGA are businesses whether they call themselves businesses or not. My point was not that they should continue getting special tax treatment. My point was that no business should pay taxes.

The truth is, businesses do not pay taxes their customers pay. The business simply collects taxes from customers in the form of higher prices.

Instead of adding taxes on the NFL and PGA fans, congress should eliminate taxes on all businesses.
