Off topic but point of order -- Arnie can't run for President. He's the wrong nationality so it's against the constitution. Also, I have to tell you that while I might have a while back, I wouldn't now, as much because of Maria as Arnie. Maria got yet another ticket this week and then on camera ran a stop sign. She just doesn't care about the law. I've lost all respect for her and Arnie as a result. Back on topic -- I loved Helio on DWTS. I want to like him; I'm just concerned about the tax thing.

Wow. I hadn't heard that about Maria yet-- I can't believe that. I wonder if it's just how she was raised or because she is married to the governor.

He was able to gain so many more fans by joining Dancing With the Stars. With any sport, fame and popularity equal more dollars in advertising and sponsorships. Of course with the athletes like Helio, who are still active, there is the risk of injury. It all worked out for him.

Personally, when it comes to racing, the tax thing is a non-issue for me. The only way it affects his driving is if he ends up in prison.
