I have a great topic of discussion which has to do with a woman who won a lawsuit against her employer for 1.5 million dollars. But as with any lawsuit in this country, there was a catch:

she paid approxmately $1, 115, 000 for legal fees, which leaves her $375, 000 left.

But due to a law she knew nothing about, she had to pay another 475, 000 dollars to the IRS. This had to do with a little scam called the amt(alternate minimum tax) which is paid to the IRS after a lawsuit. This woman won the lawsuit to find her self in 1000$ in debt. She was sexually harrased and then was in debt for 1000$....that sux

Did any of you know of this amt and what do you think?

That just goes to show you how great the American justice system is. That's just like the PowerBall lottery. If you win 10 million dollars, you get like 60,000 after taxes.

Hmm...can you say leeches? :wave :wave
