    Dang taxes after lottery win.

    Local news just had a story of a guy in KY that won 150 thousand on a scratch off in Louisville I think it was. He got 108 thousand after taxes. 42 thousand taxes on 150 thousand. That is outrageous.

    But someone, somewhere in another country that hates us needs that money more than he does.

    Wait, isn’t that about the same as what our earnings are actually taxed at. Federal, State, sales, real estate etc. Then taxed again as you begin to use your own savings as you get older. Then when you do pull some of your own money out to live on, your “income” went up so benefits fall and taxes on Medicare etc rise.

    Why are you just now being offended?

    Look on the flip side. He's got 108 thousand dollars that he didn't have before buying that scratch off.

    Ukraine needs another $60+ billion, and someone has to support the 8+ million illegals who’ve swarmed over the border.

    Including the 320,000+ they’ve expedited by flying them in.

    Those who don't like the tax rate can feel free to send me any possible winning tickets & I'll deal with it. If you send me a winner over 100 k, I will take you fishing. FFS or no FFS, your choice ! You would just have to put up with riding in a " slow" Ranger ! Heck , wear your jersey if you want !

    28%...sounds about right. Are you guys paying less than that? I know I'm not.
