oh yea i remember some of the "poor" guests on her show complain that the cars she gave away were to expensive to afford(insurance, maintanance wise), oprah benefitted from that, either through have less taxes, or something.

When she gave away those cars, she gave every one of those people a multi-thousand dollar tax debt that had to be paid on that car. If it was a $30,000 car, then she just saddled each of those audience members with a $10,000 tax bill.

All she really did was force an audience of suckers to buy a sponsor's expensive new car, not of their choice, at a steep discount, as an advertisement.

I go to the Oprah Show, and walk out with an expensive car I don't want, and can't afford, but better pay for or I can go to jail. Thanks Oprah.
