A man goes to a baseball game, buys his ticket which is taxed and goes to his seat 400 feet from home plate. A batter comes up and with a smashing hit drive the ball for the blechers where the man sits. A mob jumps on the ball but with a bloody face the man comes up with the ball. Home run numer 756 for Barry Bonds! The man is escorted out by police and security. Later he find out he will now have to sale the ball, which he will need to pay income tax on, or pay a capital gains tax on it. A 5 dollar ball that is now worth a half a million dollars. Now that sounds preposterous! The question I asked was told to my wifes cousin, who is Costa Rican, by an attorney where she lives in Boston with her husband, a north American doctor. My wife asked if this is true and I said I don’t know for sure but I would ask this forum since it seems that the comments are made by intelligent people. Thanks for the reply
I read this forum often, and have never replied, but this message topic has almost force me to. I married a Tica, and she has lived in the U.S. now for one year. We live in a nice neiborhood, middle class, and it was hard for her to get use to sleeping without bars on the windows. One of the things she loves about living here is the security and the feeling of being safe.
I guess my point is that no matter where you live, there are good and bad points. We live in West Jordan Utah, about 9 miles from Salt Lake City. In Febuary of 2007, just before Valintines day, a 17 year old boy, imagrant from Bosnia and on no medication, went to Trolley Square Mall, armed with a 12 gauge shot gun, used for hunting, and a 38 caliber hand gun, no longer a choice of military or law enforement. He proceeded to go on a rampage killing 2 people in the parking lot, and 3 others in the mall and wounding many others before and off duty police officer carrying his side arm, contained the boy in a gun battle. The boy was killed in the insuing shoot out by S.L.C. SWAT. He had enough amunition to kill dozens of people. A 22 caliber bullet can kill just as easy as a 9mm, it just depends on how it is used.
There are places here in Salt Lake that I would not dare venture at night, and the Morman church calles this place Zion.
Oh ya, I took alfreds sugested test, I am right in the middle centrist.
