this is wrong.he voluntarily gave the ball to the MLB. the IRS will most likely tax him up to 14000 dollars on 50000 dollar seats that he didn't pay for. U.S.A the land that I LOVE....D...... comment
Both parties are being pretty stupid. The IRS is being stupid for charging so much on some seats. Lopez (the man given the seats) is stupid for agreeing to pay such a large sum for said seats. There's not really much else to be said about it other than "...wow."
Hey sorry i tried to put a link with my first comment but it didn't work but thanks MageGrayWolf. The IRS is taxing this guy upwards of 14000 dollars for the seats and 16000 for the seats the signed jersey and the signed ball he received. look at this link. Modells and two other companies are helping the fan out.
hmm, he was presented a free seat at several baseball matches, then someone wanted taxing him for that? No wai, the giver should pay, if anyone should. But the giver actually does charity, so IRS should kiss the wall. IMHO.
You know, this is why I make fun of the US. Why would you get taxed on getting free stuff from returning something worth potentially 300 000$. It would make more sense in taxing the hitter for a) having a multi million dollar contract and b) for getting back such an expensive item.
Why do you guys have such morons in your government and administration?
