Blind Items Revealed #7

March 23, 2016

This B+ list mostly television actor on a long running almost network show never has any money for his non money making opportunities and wants his fans to cover those. For his money making money opportunities he always has plenty of money kicking around. When he makes a bundle though, none of it goes to the charity stuff. That is what fans are for.

Does he claim fan donations as an IRS tax write off?
I think Trump does -- that's why he won't disclose his taxes.

Corporations do (at least where I live) when they do employee donation drives. They claim it as a tax write off, so I'm sure he's doing the same.

He uses other people's money for charity (and lies about his own personal donations) and then he claims their contributions as a tax deduction?

String him up. Enough of this bullshit already.

What a douche bag. Hope he's proud of himself. He's now in the same category of doucheness with that ugly little twerp bieber.

Welcome to the world of non-profit fundraising. Do you really think that Michael J. Fox gives all his free cash to his foundation?

In the big picture, a celebrity's name is currency. The panache of the celebrity is leveraged to recruit board members who pretty much pay the bills to cover the operating costs. It makes the board members feel good, and the recipients of the grants are extremely grateful. Even if it's just a small amount, it can really make a large difference. I'm sure the guy sends in an annual gift of some sort, and recruits his friends to help pay the electric bills. And let's be fair...Ian's is a very small NPO--only around $1M--and is only a part-time venture for all involved, and seems to rely largely on volunteers to run it, which is pretty amazing because it keeps operating costs low so more money can go directly to the programs.

What is UP with all the charity-bashing these days?? I bet if he gave millions of dollars to it, you'd all claim he was just laundering his money.

And the Clinton Foundation gave only 5% to charity while she was serving as a Secretary of State and gave favors to those who contributed
Trump was a private person and undergoing an audit
It is illegal to disclose taxes while undergoing an audit
Too bad media doesn't reveal the truth

Nailed it, karen

Karen is stupid said...

The IRS has stated there is nothing preventing Trump from releasing his taxes. He does not want to reveal them because they will hurt his campaign.

I agree said...

Karen IS stupid. Dump that Hitler-wannabe Trump.

Lame said...

Somerhalder is the biggest hypocrite. The guy renews his hunting license annually.

McMurphy said...

Actually, Karen did NOT nail it. There is no law barring the release of tax returns during an audit. He can be, and obviously was, strongly advised to withhold for strategic reasons, but make no mistake, the only repercussions are losing the white house, respect from others, and privacy. Vet me.
