Ferrari Mailing List: Fwd: How Chickenshit Is The IRS?

[red5hilser (red5hilser]

Hey Todd: You wonder if the family that got the 'Extreme Makeover' will have to 
pay taxes to the IRS for the value of the upgrade? LMFAO! Does the old song, 
'Tax Man' ring a bell?

Subject: How Chickenshit Is The IRS?




I watched?the Bud Greenspan documentary' "Kings of the Ring: The Heavyweight 
Champions' on Sundance today.?Bud brought up the story of Joe Lewis and how he 
was shafted by the IRS during WW2. After Pearl Harbor, Joe enlisted in the U.S. 
Army as a private. Not like most of the 'fairy' Hollywood types who went in a 
captians, majors, etc. and never left Hollywood.?In his off-duty time he held 
boxing exhibitions to help raise money for our fighting men. Although he 
donated every dime of the money to the War Relief Fund, the IRS said it was 
'taxable income' and took what money he had saved during his career before the 
war. Joe ended up penniless as a greeter for some casino in Las Vegas before 
dying broke. Later, my 1st wife and I were in a joint in 'Vegas one night and 
met Sonny Liston, working the same kind of gig. The 'Little Lady' went over to 
him and asked, "Hey, mister, aren't you Mohammed Ali?" Sonny took a long, hard 
look at her and said, "lady, where's your husband, I want to knock him out" as 
I slowly backed away, complimentary drink in hand.. Knowing Greenspan's rep as 
a stright shooter and our beloved government, I believe it's a true story.
