Report Finds That Sports Owners Use Their Teams To Avoid Millions In Taxes
And taxpayers buy them stadiums.
Depressing enough. Don’t pile on. 🤪
Amazing point!
Just look a Football (soccer) in europe, specially england,
where Billionaires like Glazer (ManU), Kroenke (Arsenal) and Henry (Liverpool) invest hundreds of millions …
it’s all about the taxes
Not hard to imagine, when tax law is written by the rich for the rich. Also in their case(s) the only time
innocent until proven guilty applies, all other just get a baton in the face or a knee to the neck
no it isn’t you’re not taking into account that there are people who owe money on welfare and has been on welfare for generations you have to pay that back. whether or not you become a millionaire basketball player is irrelevant if you lived in the projects and you’ve had welfare you have to pay it
Lol I love how in a democracy we just take no responsibility
Rich getting richer who knew? I think rich people need more discounts. I mean it’s only fair. You wonder how Vladimir Putin got rich. Putin’s a billionaire by becoming president. Stole from this country.
Sad so sad love 🥰😘
Well, there’s a surprise! Have you looked at ‘churches’ and charities?
That guy was so shocked his eyebrows blew off!
LMAO….. hollyyyyy hollyyyy
GOD’S WORD® Translation
God is faithful and reliable. If we confess our sins, he forgives them and cleanses us from everything we’ve done wrong. 1John 1:9
This is old news. Why don’t you go back to 2017 when the Republicans passed their tax laws. The extremely wealthy have a permanent fixed rate. Everyone else will rise each year.
When your team is nothing but a tax write off😂😂😂😂
We’re 😲 shocked! “Only the little 🧍♂️man pays taxes.”
Don’t forget about all the people who get tax refunds but don’t pay taxes
Why would owning a sports franchise get someone rich enough to own a team,tax breaks? It’s more bullshty trickle down economics
That’s because it’s really Tinkle-Down Economics. The rich pee on the rest, the ‘golden showers’ that gets everybody else wet and smelly. Then to make matters worse, the non-upper classes have to pay to clean their own clothes!
That is how the riche stay rich by grifting off federal income taxes unlike every normal Americans pay
Common citizens should just start writing off their expenses as well. Why not?
Let’s face it if your rich you can do whatever you want, if your poor you suffer
More importantly, when he reports his losses who makes up the differences? We all can write off the sales tax for cars, business items etc., however the question is the lifespan and for who? Is it longer for the elitist?
Billionaire owners: I’m super rich!
Also billionaire owners: If you want a new stadium, the public need to pay for it with their tax dollars.
In other news grass is wet and the sun is blue, I’m just glad Victor Zsasz cleaned up his act and got into journalism
Gee, rich people not paying taxes. The non-surprise of the last 10,000 years.
Anybody that knows anything about running a business knows that a huge effort is expended in finding ways to avoid taxes, no matter what business.
