Oso planning to go pro
Take this crap to The Superbar.
Politics aside, it is very relevant to MU basketball. Timing would suck given how the team has performed the last two years, might get more folks to jump ship. Though I'd get to move up in the pecking order which would be great
WOW. This is a deduction? No wonder our country is f'ed up.And you people actually take the time to deduct it from your taxes?Unbelievable.No wonder we have 500,000 loopholes that aren't going anywhere.
You can deduct 80% of the required donation to buy tickets. You can't deduct the cost of the tickets.
So stupid. Wow.
Naturally, the guy who makes his living off of entertainment thinks that entertainment expenses should be tax deductible.
I guess my answer was too subtle for you. Entertainment should not be tax deductible. On which issues exactly are you conservative?
It appears what we have here is a guy that 1) Deosnt buy season tickets; 2) doesn't make charitable contributions; and 3) doesn't pay taxes, as he clearly doesn't understand how any of this works, yet believes it is "stupid."
The payments you make above and beyond your actual sticker prices for your season tickets, in the form of "optional" donations, absolutely should not be tax deductible. Just pathetic that anyone would argue to the contrary.
Again, money you are paying to enhance your seating at the Bradley Center is not going to a charity. It's going towards your personal entertainment dollars. This isn't hard.
It took Obama six plus years, but he finally has me agreeing with him on something.The only way we're going to get our federal budget in line is eliminating the ridiculous deductions like these, even if it causes some heartburn among the sweater vests on Scoop.I hope he comes after your mortgage interest deduction next.
