Nah, you're just dense. If the winners didn't want to pay taxes on the prizes, they could just forfeit the prize. Though one would have to be stupid or broke to not pay a few thousand for a $30,000.00 car they could turn around and sell for an easy $18-20,000.00 or more.

This reminds me of conservatives, who threatened under Obama, to artificially cap their earnings at $200,000. Because income below $200,000 is taxed at an effective rate of 15% and income above $200,000 is taxed at an effective rate of 25%. So instead of netting $207,500 on a $250,000 gross, they would rather net $170,000 on a $200,000 gross. It is like, do you even math, bro?

Thanks to Trumpers who elected a man-child, the 'no experience needed, you just have to be a celebrity and rich' is now in play for the position of POTUS.Not that I think Oprah would be worse than Trump, she at least made herself and didn't rely on a well connected multi-millionaire father to lift her up. But she should have started lower in politics to get some experience under her belt before.
Yes, Trump is absolutely terrible.
Oprah...I don't want my first female president to be Oprah. Can't it be some super amazing smart gal like Obama was (Obama wasn't a gal, you trolls, but he definitely was super amazing smart)?

They are too ignorant to understand that the first $200,000 is taxed at 15% and the next $50,000 is taxed at 25%.
They think the entire $250,000 is taxed at 25% because they do not understand how taxes work.
They would rather purposely bring home $37,500 less to spite Obama.
Yeah, that will really show him.

Nah, the precedent didn't really exist before, at least not in recent history as you can probably go back to the 1870's and find me one. That's why so many people thought Trump and his antic had no chance.
But It's now a thing because of Trumpers. To be POTUS, one need no experience, just be famous, loud and wealthy. People like The Rock and Zuckerberg now know this.
Trump Vs Kanye is a definite lose/lose for the country
They only managed to set the precedent because apparently the "there's no way" rhetoric was actually incorrect. There was a way. Or else he wouldn't have won in the first place.
I mean, people were declaring an almost inevitable victory for the Democrats in 2016 long before Trump even seemed like the most likely Republican nominee. And I actually do remember people saying there's no way a black president was in our immediate future back in the late 90's/early 2000's. People have a hard time predicting things that previously weren't the norm, sometimes.
