joe hachem and the tax man

[Loismustdie 0]

Karma my ass. I'd be willing to bet big that even if he tipped $100,000 the Aussie tax man would still be looking to snag 47% off him. What witty cliche would y'all throw out there then?

Probably just Karma from something else at that point- Karma can tax your ass at any time, baby. Maybe that time he robbed that homeless old lady would catch up with him.

So do lottery winners not have to pay any tax in Australia? It is absurd to me that you would have to pay a higher tax on something you gain by skill and hard work than on something you get by pure luck.

I doubt he'll pay anything to the US. Most developed countries have two-way tax treaties with the US.

So Danny Nguyen should move to Australia. He wouldn't have to pay anything in taxes!!

Most of you forget that 3% was already taken out of the prize pool for tipping purposes. The staff received almost 2 million dollars in tipping from WSOP ME. The 100 dollar tip that he gave was actually a tip on top of a tip. Its like when you eat at your favorite restaraunt, you write the tip on the receipt. Then as you head out, you give another $2 to the waitress, no one does that.

Taxes are so ridicoulis. Liberal socialists want hard working people to pay for crack addicts and people who refuse to work, and border jumpers who have no place in this country.

Taxes do suck! I would like the problem of winning the ME and trying to find ways of keeping more in my pocket, (and back on the tables) and out of the hands of the Govt. Karma.........want to buy some poker karma, go to the .01/.02 limit holdem games and dump $5. You would be surpised how hard this is to do. Raise/cap every pot and see how long it takes the table to figure it out. This will help you catch cards in your tourney's or ring games. I promise. Also, helps out the players playing at that level. A win of $1 at that level can help a player move up to .02/.04. Just remember, it all goes into the rake in the end. This includes Karma.

Who pays for schools, the roads you use, libraries, ect ect, then, you gaytard?And, if "border jumpers" don't have a place in the country, unless you are american indian, get the fuck out.

Actually, if you read my posts I state clearly that many people have made this argument before and I understand it.I still disagree.Why? Well to use your example. It is like you eat at your favorite restaurant...and then you write your tip. And then on the way out you win 7.5 million dollars. And then you see a tip jar on the counter and you put 10000 dollars in it because you are so happy you just won 7.5 million.Some people would do that. I am one of them. If you dont thats ok. But I would.

Spademan, all im gonna say is that you are a very very confused person. I never said anything about tax dollars being used for roads and schools as those are worthwhile causes, but most of what you and your welfare pimps push is garbage. So anyone whos not a native American should leave. So people who enter the country legally are on par with those who break are laws to enter, your insane. Injustices happened with the Native Americans, that is not my fault I wasnt alive then and cant be held responsible for the actions of my ancestors.For a realists look at the American you and your pervert friends are creating maybe you should read Robert Borks book "Slouching towards Gomorrah". You can see what a great man you and your pervert friends tore down for no other reason than that you disagreed with him. He currently runs the best law school in the country(Ave Maria law school in Ann Arbor Michigan), it is the only law school in America that teaches natural law over the perversity of the modern thinkers.

[Spademan 94]

I am functionally retarded.

Fixed your post.

Compelling argument. Similar to the one you and your sick friends made against Robert Bork and are about to make against John Roberts. I pray god has mercy on you sick twisted people.

I pray your god stays away from me. If he is anything like the god of the other right wing xtian fundamentalist nutbags I have met, he is mean, salty fellow with a nasty temper who has an unhealthy fixation on my diet and/or sex life.I like my deities to be a little more understanding and a little less interested in what I do as long as I am basically a good person.

A funny thing happened to me on my way to Daniels homepage, I accidentally ended up on the O'Reilly factor. Weird. Someone Email Daniel and let him know the links to his page are messed up. Calm down by the way boys, thats the funny thing about this great nation that we live in, your'e both 100% entitled to your own opinions with no fear of reprecussions. You're not gonna change each others minds so don't sweat it.

Tipping would probably (likely) not have helped him avoid taxes.

It DEFINITELY wouldn't have helped him avoid taxes. Can we all be done with this Karma garbage, please? It's getting quite ridiculous.

I swear, you make me laugh! You act as though liberals are the scum of the Earth because they attacked Bork, yet you cons impeached Clinton for getting a BJ in the Oval Office. Clinton's only mistake was to lie before the grand jury about it, but who can blame him? It was NOBODY'S business and he did what any other guy caught with his pants down would do. He lied to save his marriage and to spare his family a ton of embarrasment and grief.Oh, but you forgot about that one, didn't you? Well how about Bush and his cronies slandering John Kerry's military service record? A bunch of rich kid asswipes who all got deferrments and safe positions slamming the one guy in the mix who actually served his country and got wounded. But his wounds weren't severe enough to earn his purple heart, were they? Oh, wait a minute, that was 3 purple hearts!Before you start bringing your political BS to this forum, just remember that because YOU believe in it doesn't make it true, and it certainly doesn't make it any better than anyone elses beliefs. I guess you forgot that America is about being able to have your own opinion? I guess the flag you're waving got in the way of your line of sight?

Another reason I like living in NH. I may have to pay federal taxes, but we have no income tax or sales tax in NH.

Ugh I already posted about how I wasnt being literal in any sense. I still believe in karma I dont think it is garbage though.

Scanner you are wasting your time. People like this are conditioned (haha) to contradict themselves at every turn and not bat an eye. Arguing with a conservative is like arguing with an emotional woman....you cant win because you feel compelled to include things like logic and reasoning in your arguments and they are not inhibited this way.This is from someone who thought Kerry would make a horrible president by the way and that the Democrats lost the last election by being stupid and childish. McCain/Obama in 2008....ah well I can dream cant I?

You are a fool.Dont you see, Clinton lied in front of a grand jury thereby bringing onto himself the attacks he received, I dont care if it wasnt his business he lied to a grand jury by his own admission in blatant disregard for American law. Bork did nothing to deserve the attacks he received by the mental midgets on the left. The only reason Kerry received the attacks he did is because he decided to base his entire campaign around 3 months he spent in Vietnam, 3 months which resulted in various accounts of his supposed bravery. People always forget that the guy who led the Swift boat veterans for truth is a lifelong democratic voter and has been fighting against Kerry for decades. Its not like he exactly came out of the wood work. Your analogies are false, Kerry and Clinton brought those attacks upon themselves. Bork did nothing to deserve what he got, it was a bunch of pathetic people, banning together to tear down a great man with no reasoning behind it. The liberals tried to find charachter flaws and ways to personally attack him an found nothing, yet they attacked him viciously anyways. You people are losing this cultural war and you know it. Now you are very afraid that you''ll lose youre advantage in the supremem court, which is the only place which you can ram your moral relativism down Americas throat.
