Thanks Artist77, this guys has comprehension issues. I did some research and found a few interesting things. I may post the links later.
For example, If I write that the speed limit on I-75 locally where I live is 70 miles per hour, it's a fact. His response would be...."Just because there's a speed limit doesn't mean everyone who speeds will turn themselves into the local Police department"......I mean, just because someone goes five over the limit should feel guilty?...HEY LOOK GUYS AND GALS....we have a DMV expert on LP now.."
So imagine when I write that ALL income is taxable income, and you come back and say, "So if some guy wins 5 bucks on a bet, he has to report it?" His brain's evolution never factored in looking at dilemmas from different angles. Like a horse with blinders on.
He can't differentiate between what the rules are, and what most people obviously do in those situations, meaning they, including me, don't claim a 40 dollar win, wink wink, I'd be even with my losing tickets, yeah we get it Stack, but you missed the point.
I'm simply stating the facts. Go argue with the IRS, I didn't write them rules right?
Sorry to the OP for getting off track, but Stack47 was the one who first provoked. In fact the first time I ever posted something on this thread was when Stack put his foot in his mouth again with his link post.
Maybe I'll start a Fourth of July Blog just to see his response. I'll write the rules about general fireworks laws. "C'mon amber, do you really think people who shoot off a few bottle rockets should worry about the police giving them fines?"
