You know, the hypocrisy of many of the posters here is nauseating. If anyone harboring anything other than left-wing views made this kind of money, these posters would have cerebral hemorrhages over it. That right-wing bastard would be branded an evil rich person worthy of being burned at the stake. But Big O making that sort of money? Cool beans, bro. High five.

He showed me how to claim my horses as a business....that way I got back everything the government took and could spend it as I liked.

I learned.....anyone can.
I honestly have no interest in teaching you how our tax system is rigged, there is plenty of information out there if you care to learn more about it.

I don't know you, nor do I do your taxes, so I don't really care what you say you do or don't do on the internet.
