Google brings credit to this country. Everyone knows its American. Should that entire corporation be tax free too?

Google brings more credit to America than Phelps. Sorry but if you don't see that you're blind.

personally, i'd rather their award be tax free - they bring credit upon this country by their dedication. if that means i pay a few dollars more in taxes to make up for that, i'm fine with that.

did you write the check yet mr. buffet?

I just read a stat that the average gold medal winner pays $9,000 taxes on it.

When Grover Norquist strikes, snopes comes to the rescue.

Just for the record - exempting these cash awards from income taxes is a terrible idea.

US has a total of 90 medals as of now. If the average taxes is $7,000 then the revenue from these medals are $630,000. That is nothing compared to the many pork barrel programs that money is wasted - just saying.

I'm not on the left and I want to tax them. Tax the churches too!

The cash for the medals is like a bonus. It's a cash reward for the results of hard work. I get a cash bonus for results of hard work and pay taxes for it. Why should athletes not pay taxes?

i think your pay scale is a bit more per hour than what 25k would work out to for the years a gold medal winner puts into it.......

I was thinking I could claim the I-130 fee and all NVC fees as a business expenses. After all, I brought a worker here. Nothing better than a hot breakfast in the morning. She spends her days and nights making jewelry for Target and Ross by oppressive U.S. companies.

If things don't work out, I can send her to Rocks in southern MS. and they can walk barefoot to the store together and curse the U.S. govt. on the way there and the way back about the lack of sidewalks.
