60 Minutes just did a segment on Jerry Jones, the one with the Dallas Cowboys. |
|
There was a lot of talk about what a genius he was to have the foresight change marketing of the team back when Texas was in a depression. There was a tour of the VIP boxes which cost $5m each. Then this guy, a billionaire, practically went verklempt positing that he lives in fear of becoming penniless. My heart bleeds.
And there is an expectation that people like this step up and pitch in also?

All the VIP box owners, too.
Twice as much.

7. Those luxury boxes, and most of those in every stadium in this country, |
|
are tax deductions for 'entertaining clients'.
Take that deduction away, and those boxes will all be empty.
Just another way the average citizen subsidizes the wealthy and professional sports through the IRS in this country.
