Just like those Oprah studio fans found when she 'gave' them all new cars a year ago.

Since you brought that up, what about those people on that show Extreme Makeover -- how do they pay their taxes, property and gift?

And how to their neighbors feel when THEIR property taxes go up because of the new values in the neighborhood?

Hey there! I hate that show.....that money could be spread out among MANY families in need.

I've never seen Extreme Makeover, but you're right. I'm sure these dolts (thanks to publik skool edumakation) don't realize what they're getting into come April 15th.

And IIRC that's mostly why Banks stopped 'giving away' free stuff for opening an account. They'd value some stinking $50.00 toaster over at $400.00 (or some equally bogus value) then send out 1099s in January to the surprise of the now not so happy customer.
