    Give a man a dollar, and the IRS will tax it from you and you’ll starve. Give a man a billion dollars, and he won’t have to spend a penny of it on food…

    I know I’m not the only one that sees the problem with this picture.

        And can’t even buy a candy bar with it, before or after tax…

        Edit: Funny that anyone would downvote my comment here. It costs almost twice as much for a candy bar as a bottle of beer where I’m from. $1.70 for a bottle of beer, like $2.95 for a candy bar. No shit.
