A fool and his money soon go separate ways! How stupid was Dumbanowski to invest so much in so little? I’m sure he’ll end up going to one of those corrupt tax firms that promise to settle tax bills for pennies on the dollar, damned tax deadbeat. It’s rich tax deadbeats like Dumbanowski that bankrupt our government, sad they don’t get the proper punishment!

Pay Your Taxes Deadbeat Dumbanowski!!!

Right wing myths like Carter wasn’t a good President and Obama’s a Muslim. Depends and Kleenex Corps. still celebrating Mitt’s defeat.

For the record. Nothing in the article states that Romo is broke. It just states that the tax deductions were wrong and they owe that money back. Maybe he doesn’t have $5 million on have, but with his CSN gig, and maybe liquidate some other assets, he will likely pay it off no problem.

In other news… Joe Flacco is scheduled to earn 20.1 million next year… His tax liability is 10.44 million… OVER 50% of his salary is dust before he even gets his first check… So, in reality, he has a true deal of 6 years $58 million. I think it’s pathetic anyone should have to pay over 50% of their income to the tax man.

I agree with you BUT I think Joe can still survive on 9.6 mil per year after taxes

He is what he is, and what that is a a guy you hate when he is on an opposing team, and you love when he is on your team. I know, i’ve lived it.

He also has been a pretty entertaining personality on TV and Radio this past couple years. I hope he can keep it together and stay employed doing the color on Raider post-games. His emotion is classic, and he may be a nut ball, but he knows football and let’s us peek into the mentality of an NFL player.

Boar-Hunters!

He had a lesser known business venture which also didnt do too well. It was a spin off from GNC where he spits vitamin supplements directly into the customers mouth.

Once a Bronco always a Bronco? Once a 49er always a 49er? humb0lt will talk while he can, because you can never find him in November. Sure, once in awhile he’ll pop his little pinhead up and post something manly, such as, “I believe in you, Philip!”, but mostly he just hides. Super Bowl Express!

Note that the claimed amount Flacco would pay in taxes reportedly includes federal, state, and county taxes, as well as Medicare tax. But, those are estimates made by others, and don’t take into account any deductions, but rather just look at the tax rates. I would venture that no one’s gross income is the same as their taxable income, so I think it is slightly overblown. In other news, he will still make more money than he should ever spend (unless he is stupid on the Curt Schilling/Bill Romanowski level and blows it). But, since this board leans waaaaay right and too political, I’m sure I will get about a 30-1 ratio of thumbs down to up.

It seems ridiculous having to pay 50% of your earnings to taxes, however making 100 million playing football is pretty ridiculous when you consider the debt the US is in…

And I doubt many of these guys making that type of money are paying 50% in taxes…hire a good accountant and you can move it around to avoid (whoops) plan around taxes.

can he claim steroids as an expense from his playing days?

if so it might just be a wash … dude took a ton of roids.

Let’s be honest — it’s not like Geithner just decided not to pay income tax for three years. He worked for the IMF and they didn’t withhold Social Security and Medicare taxes from his check. He paid those himself to the IRS, but didn’t pay the additional 50% that is paid by the employer and you never see. He took responsibility, paid the back amount due, and paid a substantial fine. What else do you want him to do. And honestly I don’t know if this is a political issue but just trying to set the record straight with actual facts.
