My analysis is perfectly apt. You should learn to read before commenting.

Reading is fundamental. Relative vs. Technical double taxation is clear.
You do not refute my comparative point that, for an American winner, the government takes one bite when the prize is received and another bite from the yield on what remains, whereas a U.K. winner only faces the latter.

That’s not what I wrote or implied.
Relative to the UK model, the US system subjects the same underlying pot of money to 2 layers of tax that a UK winner escapes on the first layer. Americans are taxed on lottery winnings = 1x taxed
Then taxed on interest and/or CG of the remainder = 2x taxed

Think about the fact that the comments are comparing the US and UK systems.

The same @nytimes.com that ignored Donald’s illegal call to execute Democratic lawmakers? There is nothing redeemable anymore about that old rag.

We’ve seen this horror show before and it was a hug disaster. American military members must not obey illegal orders.

Americans will also be taxed on interest income and capital gains on the remainder. Double taxation.

Socialism is what they called public power.

Socialism is what they called social security.

Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.

Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people.

Of course #Zuckerberg is also a #pedophile. It’s a prerequisite in MAGA land.
