It all begins with a baseball, fully paid for and taxed, that's hit by Barry Bonds for his record breaking home run. The guy who happens to catch it is taxed for a mysterious "estimated" pricetag on the ball before he even thinks about what to do with it. This poor guy wants to keep the ball, but has to sell it because he cant pay the tax on a "750,000 ball." When the tax on a ball has been paid once already, i find it strange they can tax you again because the ball is special in some way it wasn't when they taxed you the first time. I can understand if you find a diamond in government soil that you must pay tax on it, but this situation seems far too...over the top. I'm angered over this unreasonable taxation, even though i am not the victim.
