Oopsie! The freepers think they're helping 'Joe the Plumber', but... |
|
they don't realize how much they may be complicating his life.
There are several message threads about sending cash & checks to him to help pay off his lien for unpaid taxes. Of course, all of these 'donations' will have to be tracked, logged, and claimed as income on THIS year's taxes. By sending him money (and publicly talking about it - there are several "I just sent $xx" messages out there already) , they have managed to make his accounting for this year an absolute nightmare. Way to go, freepers!
This is a perfect example of the "Law of Unintended Consequences"! :rofl:

They will just call them "gifts" which aren't taxable.

4. Why the hell do they want to pay his taxes? |
|
I thought they hated paying taxes!
As long as the gifts are under a certain amount (and with that crowd they WILL be, for sure) they count as a "gift."

7. I thought these nuts were against SPREADING THE WEALTH & paying MORE TAXES? |
|
By helping JTP with his tax problems they are embracing two things deride Obama for.
*Scratches head* Makes no sense to me. Wonder if they'd help me with my taxes?

9. Whatever happened to the Puke mantra for personal responsibility |
|
and "pulling oneself up by their bootstraps" LMAO!
Hey, Joe the Plumber, you lied to OBAMA's face and misrepresented yourself nationally; And now we all know you're just another repuke asshole who will vote against your very own best interests instead of voting for the Democrat who wants to help you and your family.
You need your ass Roto Rooted!
