I doubt any of them pay taxes on swag. Just think of what that would do to their sense of entitlement, after all! More like he won't endorse any shit, free or not, without being hand$omely rewarded...cause for the right price he sure as hell endorses stuff like coffeemakers, liquor and cars.
But still. Good for George for having common sense about this and saying what all of us are thinking.
It came out several years ago that they HAVE to pay taxes on all those goodie bags. Some bags were running into hundreds of thousands of dollars and the IRS finally put their foot down and made it a law.
A lot of stars started passing up on the goodie bags when this happened.
^^Hm, you're right about the goody-bag tax. I do remember something about that. But I'm still so skeptical, celebs get away with so much that I can certainly imagine them just ignoring the tax laws anyways.
yeah, do they make them sign for those goody bags?
