We asked our followers if they thought Olympians should have to pay taxes on their prize earnings. No. They are representi­ng us, and any reward they get from competing is reasonable payback for their service. @Awake1Md Only if they get a deduction for the cost of training to represent our country. @k9air No. Why should they?
