Obama to Tax US Olympic Medalists

[Naked Crook]

I posted this thread on AoW as well to get kore reaction. Go to the following link to see more views on the issue. http://www.warofages.org/showthread....mpic-Medalists Well, well...it seems that the Obama administration is at it again...doing what the left does best...tax the shit out you. http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Peace/2...pic-Medals-Too http://www.topix.com/forum/city/lond...6JAMOCERMU4HQ4 If you are an Olympic athlete, and you win a medal, you also win a cash bonus. It breaks down as such: Gold: $25 000 SIlver: $15 000 Bronze: $10 000 Under tax laws imposed by the US Government, the IRS is allowed to tax your winnings and (possibly) your medal as "income" So how much will U.S. Olympic medal winners have to pay in taxes to the IRS (the tax revenue service that is run by the US Government)? American gold medal winners will pay the IRS up to $8,986. Silver medal winners will pay up to $5,385. Bronze medal winners will pay up to $3,502. To add insult to injury...no other country in the world is doing this to their athletes. The US Government is the only Government on the planet that imposes taxes on overseas earnings. But...we have to remember...those Athletes did not earn those medals by themselves. If it was not for the Government "Building roads and infrastructure" then they would not be on the world stage now...isn't that right Mr. Obama? What do you guys think of this?

We should drag out the Marxist Kenyan Muslim, all his hoodlums, drag them through the street to red square and shoot them. We should also kill the greedy bastards who run the IRS and all their friends and family too. Might as well toss the TSA into the party as well.

I agree with Lynksys
