Oprah's Car Winners Hit With Hefty Tax Bill
When Oprah Winfrey gave away 276 cars last week to the audience of her show, images of people laughing, jumping, crying -- some hysterically -- filled the airwaves and the giveaway became stuff of legend. Late night talk show hosts and newspaper columnists are still talking about it.
But now some of those eager prizewinners have a choice: Fork over $7,000 or give up the car.
Um, did they think just because it was Oprah they didn't have to pay the taxes. Duh!
