Oprah: ‘Most Pain I Feel Is Every Time I Write A Check to the IRS’
In interview, Oprah also said she 'doesn't know the answer' to get America back on its feet

Oprah Winfrey, in a 2011 interview with Piers Morgan, expressed her disdain for writing checks for more than $100,000 to the Internal Revenue Service.
In the interview, Morgan asked Winfrey about her billion-dollar business and inquired about how many checks she signs.
"I sign all the ones for over $100,000 and that’s a lot of checks," Winfrey said. "Millions are going out."
Morgan asked whether or not that hurt Winfrey and whether she felt physical pain from it.
"No the most pain I feel is—my accountants will tell you this—every time I write a check to the IRS, it's a ceremony," Winfrey said. "They come in, for years they came in with wine, now they come in with tequila—it's a tequila signing ceremony."
According to Americans for Tax Reform, Winfrey has also criticized the Death Tax in the past.
"I think it's so irritating that once I die, 55 percent of my money goes to the United States government," Winfrey said. "You know why it's so irritating? Because you already paid nearly 50 percent when the money was earned."

“When the press gets done with you, you will think a trip to the Proctologist was less invasive.
The press will get in line to look where the sun don’t shine......freedom of the press, remember?”
I keep hearing and seeing this, but when did the press EVER look into anything about the Fraud’s life?
Big Media LOVES billionaire leftist bigots.
Why would they allow anything negative about harpO to come to light?
Someone in the Oprahz camp need to let her know “taxes good”
Also, most people do not like rich people complaining about money or complaining in general.
Big government to be THE goal. Higher taxes are the means...................
“Most Pain I Feel Is Every Time I Write A Check to the IRS”
That’s bad alright Oprah but not as bad as having to listen to you.
Suck it up, Oprah.
Yes she does.
Agreed...
You do t have to dig far below the surface of every liberal to find a conservative.
How does she square wanting to keep her money with being a big-time lib? Liberalism has an insatiable appetite for our money. Absolutely insatiable.
I know how she feels.
I had to write a check to the IRS for $12,000 and it like to have killed me........................
A high and progressive income tax and the elimination of inherited wealth have always been part of the Marxist platform.
That would suck.
And all her supporters have never ever seen that much loot once in their entire lives. Go figure!
How can see say these things after supporting Obama, huge disconnect!
Lying whore, first you have all your money safely tied up in corporations and shelters. Second I doubt you have personally written a check in decades. Your just another insanely wealthy liberal that bitches about something that barely affects you while trying to tell all us little people how you are just like us!
Hey Oprah, guess who said this:
“I do think at a certain point you’ve made enough money.”
Hey, Oprah, you didn’t build that!
RE: Oprah’s “Presidential” candidacy: Didn’t read online that she was just a basic prostitute, a STREETWALKER, in New York City back in the 1970’s? AND that she had been a heavy user of either heroin or crack cocaine? Or not?

What a fine and excellent candidate for President; for a brain-dead liberal.
Then she should be backing Trump.
