Gift Horse Dentistry
When someone gets a prize on a game show, say a $900 ceramic dalmatian, or a new Pontiac, why doesn't the show or contest include enough money to pay the taxes as well? Well, I know why, but shouldn't they?

I am curious to know why - what happens if one can't pay them?

Death and/or more taxes.

ok, but then the first question - the one that you say you know why: why does not the prize include the tax money?

Because someone who is willing to give you $100 usually isn't as willing to give you $165.

With the corollary that it looks better to give out a Cobalt than an Aveo and $3000 :-)
