This is REALLY gonna **** you off. This money is considered a gift by the IRS. Therefore, as long as no one person donated more than $14,000, it's ALL considered a non taxable gift. Zero, zip, Nada taxes. Doesn't even get reported to IRS unless one donor exceeded the $14k threshold.
Of course, when they take that money and invest it, they will have to pay taxes on the investment income.
Even if a gift exceeds the annual gift allowance the person receiving it doesn't get taxed the person gifting it might. Beyond that the person gifting could apply whatever to dollar value vs the lifetime exemption and still pay zero
Just goes to show you that stupid people will donate money to try to salvage their right to hate and be bigots. I just hope the family takes the money, fails to pay taxes and all end up in jail.
What a hateful statement, although I doubt you are willing to see it..
Some liberal "reporter" and leftist news station and then idiot leftists ^ made it a national story. It's a nothing story that morons made a big deal out of and now, America has responded.
Oh, and don't dictate to me what I can or cannot do liberal clown. We aren't an entirely socialist country yet.
This person said this knowing there was a camera & a microphone. Who exactly is the idiot here? Words have consequences. If they didn't want backlash they should've kept their mouth shut. As a business owner, isn't your priority to make money? Why would you say something that you know is going to offend a bunch of people. Not just gays but people who support gay rights? Just a stupid thing to do. Hey, I'm not a fan of racists, many conservatives, gun nuts, etc. You think if I owned a business I would be stupid enough to say something to that effect on tv? I'd be an idiot to do that, to risk losing business with a group of people. It'd be a different thing if said racist came into my business & started talking smack. Then I'd gladly kick their butt out of the door & refuse service to them ever.
People who will aver they are good "christians" give lots of money to further an agenda of hate . . . lols~ too funny
I wonder how much they gave for something good and positive in their community?

Their entire town's population is the same size of my high school a few decades ago. Generally people in such tiny towns are not sophisticated to be pc.
The funny thing is that the "gay" faction started a donate site to counteract this..........Thier donation so far are only 15K.......
Your post completely proves my point. The site supporting discrimination got hundreds of thousands. I find it hard to imagine, but inspired by someone like Rush Limbaugh people give money to strangers to praise them for discriminating. Sad but hardly shocking.

The funny things is that hate is easier to support. Love, and compassion and fairness and equality is hard for those who are simple minded and act like privileged children who want to keep the status quo.
Hmm, I thought nobody listens to Rush. He is finished, he is so 90s. It is a different world. The country has changed. I got news for you. People don’t like bullies and this is how they get back a them.
In the first week of March, Rush Limbaugh himself posted the following ON HIS OWN FACEBOOK page:
"Now that I've outgrown the 25-54 demographic, I'm no longer confident I see the world as everybody else does. I've gotten old enough now that there are younger people, generationally younger, who have an entirely different view, and entirely different experience."
Rather navel-gazing for Rush. Some speculate it was inspired by rumors that WLS, the Chicago station that carries Limbaugh's voice all over the Midwest, is preparing to drop him. The station has denied they are cutting Limbaugh immediately but one thing they can't deny: their revenues were $13 million in 2013; in 2014 revenues dropped to less than $9.5 million.
The Wall Street Journal has reported that Limbaugh's "failure to generate ad revenue" is due, in fact, to the success of social media campaigns like StopRush/BoycottRush/FlushRush. Another example of that: in February, IHeart Media (formerly Clear Channel) which carries the Rush Limbaugh Show on over 500 stations, reported a quarterly loss of $309 million, adding to the company's billions in debt.
Rush might still have enough influence to generate support and donations to a retail operation that preaches exclusion, but overall he is indeed, by his own admission, "so 90s," to use your term.

After seeing the word 'hate' so often, I thought of what people could do to show they hate me, a straight guy.. Sure enough, not delivering theoretical pizza to my theoretical wedding was at the top of the list. I can just imagine how much more hateful it would be to a theoretical gay couple, because pizza is a must-serve at their weddings.
