Vengeful Cynic

It's a shame Oprah didn't consider what us poor people have known all along: gifts are taxed. For an example, I have "owned" two cars now. I use the quotes because although I paid for the vehicles, I "sold" them to my parents for $1. That way, the cars can be on their insurance, but they won't have to worry about gift income. If Oprah or her company was a bit more in touch with the monetary realities of the average American's existence, then the gift should actually have been declared a $1/car sale, limit one per selected customer. The company would possibly even be able to claim the lost profit against their taxes.
