should the u.s. tax college sports organizations?

It would be that old hag. It's kind of hard to take the representative of a state doing its damnedest to match California in dumbass financial decisions seriously.

Leave it to Democrats and they'll be taxing sunlight and a breeze next.
 
They tax us on Income. They charge sales tax on purchases. Have a mixed drink and you pay tax on the liquor. Buy a car and you pay sales tax. Put gasoline in your car and you pay gas tax. Change the oil in your car and there is an environmental disposal fee. Call someone with your phone and they tax that too. They tax us on Capital gains and investment interest income. They charge estate tax when you die. What's left?

Us deciding that politicians have had their hands in our pockets for too long. That's what's left. And what we'll do about it.
 
Americans are addicted to 'free' stuff. And our federal representatives who seem to get life-long tenure have no sense at all about fiscal responsibility - whatever gets them re-elected. So no, I'm not surprised by anything anymore.
 
Normally I'd have opinions, but yo folks we have bigger concerns here on the football forum tonight so

Most people acknowledge the stuff is not actually free. But, when you look at actual first world countries (which the US is not), they really don't pay that much more in taxes than Americans and get so much more in return.

I don't mind paying state taxes, but the idea of paying federal taxes is absurd.

Spoken like someone with little real experience in other countries.

There are many reasons so many citizens of countries with subsidized health care come to America for health care. Turns out, that tax money doesn’t buy them much.

Our experiences clearly differ.

My personal experiences with European service members in deployed locations, Baltic contractors while working on military contracts, and then eastern European townspeople while living and working in Romania and Bulgaria have almost exclusively pointed to the 'tax them at 40+% for social services' model being inferior in both outcome and lived experience for those being taxed.

As others have pointed out, this isn't quite the place for this conversation, and I'm down a rabbit hole here.
