Well! Looky there! There is a GoFundMe Account set up for that pizza joint

It's easier for the sane to appear insane than the other way around. Witness the great success of moles on Skin's Island.

Well, I wouldn't know anything about that. No siree not me.

Here's another of your holy gay-SIS warriors who's tolerant intolerance is probably going to land her ass on the street.

Looks like Ms Bryan is going to need some financial help for her bigotry and lack of self control.  Maybe you can see if a gofundme account for this lefty fascist can bring as much as Memories Pizza.

Using a false fraud report to try to shut down an effort to counter the thugs trying to destroy this family and business? What a non-shock! Why, if their cause is so right and just, do such Libs & Progs have to resort to fraud and false accusations?

But don't worry about Ms. Bryan. If this CBS station fires her to limit damage to their image, she'll be, quietly, welcomed elsewhere in the MSM, possibly with a promotion and salary increase.

The IRS interpretation of 'Gift' would preclude that, unfortunately

How so? I realize the law is whatever the IRS decides it is, but a gift is a transfer given or received with nothing expected in return.

On what basis are donations to a person in distress considered taxable income?

[Chris_]

The IRS considers a gift to be anything under $10,000.  An amount above that may be taxable.

As Tanker's said, the law is apparently whatever the IRS says it is, and given the political climate as it is now, with the Democrats, liberals, and primitives trying to kristallnacht decent and civilized people, I wouldn't be too optimistic.

One way out might be that these are individual small gifts, each of them nowhere near that limit?

I dunno.

What about when the total of the gifts exceeds 1/2 million, but none is individually over $10K?

[Chris_]

As Tanker's said, the law is apparently whatever the IRS says it is.

Pretty much.

GoFundMe, along with the official begging site of The DU, 'Wishadoo', should have all this shit squared away since they're getting a cut of the proceeds.  The owners should receive the appropriate paperwork at the end of the year.

I had a coworker that received a substantial payout from a local Indian casino (feather, not dot).  He had to pay a 27% tax on the money as gambling/gaming income even though his personal taxable income was a different tax bracket.

We may be looking at a non-DU Wallduding.  This could be epic.

Fundraiser for Memories Pizza in Indiana Concludes — Here’s How Much Was Ultimately Raised

[GOBUCKS]

The IRS considers a gift to be anything under $10,000.  An amount above that may be taxable.

Not for the recipient. The only gift limits I've heard of are on the donor, above which punitive gift taxes may apply. You can give $14K per year to a person or persons and so can your wife.

So a married couple can give each child, the child's wife, the grandchildren, the paperboy, and their favorite bartender each $28K per year and owe no gift tax, and the recipients don't have to report it to the IRS.

So if you have a married child who has four kids, you could give that family $28K X 6 = $168K per year.

If you give them more than that in a year, you'd be subject to gift tax, but it would not be taxable income for them.

The gifts are subject to a lifetime limit for the donor of about a bazillion dollars.

I'm certainly not a lawyer, but that's what I understand from my bean counter.

And at any rate, this pizza joint is getting small gifts from 30,000 or so different people, and this money is not a prize or winnings like you might get from a casino or a lottery.

That would be a resume' enhancer at MSNBC. She could become Rachel Maddow's sidekick.

It appears buzzy may have self-banned.
I'm not holding my breath. She/he/it, probably has a "how do I refute" thread somewhere in the DUmp.
Like a moth to flames, the lad will return with more catchy gotchas, and demand we play by s/h/its rules.

  I figured S/H/It would lay low on it for a bit, and then spout off on S/H/Its thorough thrashing of CC.   

[Eupher]

Well, if nothing else, this thread has seen some activity. Does my heart good to see a liberal do a swan dive off of Skin's Island, swim over to CC and have its ass handed to it on multiple levels.

Newt Gingrich referred to the buzzy-types and their selective outrage as "lynch mobs."

That description fits them to a tee.

Looks like it's slowing or stopped.

I think they shut it down.  Most Christians aren't greedy.  I hope the find it in their hearts to help some of the other business's who have been caught in this trap.

[Karin]

The pizza joint has become a symbol of resistance against government-mandated acceptance of perversion.

Well said, Gobucks.  People are sick of the gaystapo and their tactics;  deliberately targeting Christians in order to sue and bankrupt them.

  For your amusement and entertainment, the latest Lib/Prog narrative about Memories Pizza is that the whole thing was a conspiracy by them to gin up the GoFundMe and be able to blow town.

Well, I guess when you've been soundly defeated and won't look for blame in your own stupidity, whacked out conspiracy may be the least awful refuge. Has DU latched onto this bit of loony-ness yet.

Liberal Heads Explode as Donations Top $840,000 for Memories Pizza
http://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2015/04/liberal-heads-explode-as-donations-top-840000-for-memories-pizza/

One loon, Kandyce Brothers, managed to accuse the GoFundMe site of being a “Koch” conspiracy and “dirty GOP trick” where all those rich conservatives donated an average of $29,000 each.

Wrong Answer! Very Wrong Answer! $840,000 divided by 30,000 is $28. Wow, she is way wrong! It if was 30,000 people donating $29,000 each, it would be $870,000,000. Than Memories Pizza would be a huge chain by than.

That's Common Core for ya! Leftists are dumb as a bag of hammers.

Being off by 3 orders of magnitude like that almost makes me wonder if she was trolling. The pic of her is pretty tiny, but I'm guessing her Math non-skills are more likely a product of the "New New Math" rather than of Common Core.

I saw a list this AM of the largest donations. There were one or two $5000 donations and several $1000 donations, but the vast majority had to have been in the hundreds, tens and smaller range. No R Party Conspiracy, no Koch Brothers conspiracy, just some 30K ordinary Americans using their checkbooks to voice their rejection of Lib/Prog thuggery.
