There Are No Free Rides, Baby

It appears that the buzz is about to wear off from Oprah's great car promotion. I refuse to call it a giveaway, as she didn't give anything, other than free publicity to General Motors. Anyway, the winners are being informed that along with their new Pontiacs will be coming income tax bills of up to $7000. This is Tax Law 101, people - you must pay taxes on any income you receive, including prize winnings. And nobody can pay the taxes for you, as that is actually just extra income.
