LOTTERY WINNER.... Screwed

[lyric1]

Winning the lottery & then crying about taxes.... please.

[Shuffler]

Generally on lottos if you elect to take a bulk payout instead of the 20 year payout you only get maybe half of the said winnings.

On the flip side if you made a lot of money or owned a business, you'd know just how unfair taxes are. Most of the taxes collected are paid by a hand full of folks.

Coincidentally, most of the money is made by a handful of folks.

Yes.... generally the ones that work hard for it.

Man you're right. Some guys just have no luck. I mean WTF can you do with $88.5 million anyways? Thank god McDonald's has that dollar menu. At least he can go there and get some cheap food that wont brake the bank. 





I wish I could get screwed like that. First thing I would do is go buy me a nice warbird. Maybe a P38 so I can fly it around taunting those SAPP tards. Then Id crash it so I can be a member too.   

[Xasthur]

I'd never work again, build a giant compound for me to hunker down in and retreat from humanity in style!

With the way the internet is, I might never have to deal with much stupidity ever again!

That would be worth more than the money, I think. 

[AApache]

and how is a free  88million getting screwed. good lord man  i'd take 1 damn million and be happy off of a 1 dollar investment.

[moot]

Just gonna play devil's advocate here.  25% of your paycheck is a big deal.  25% of a couple hundred million bucks is correspondingly more outrageous.  Just because you can't think of anything to do with that money right now, in your life today, is apples to oranges compared to what you could have done if your sense of scale were adjusted to the tune of an eight digit figure lifestyle.  Whether that's frivolous partying or more industrial objectives.  Give me 88M and 3x88M separately, and I'll show you how big a difference there is between the two.

I would say if you are outraged you are sensible and if you are not outraged you are sheeple but thats just me.

If you are outraged, you didn't read the rules of the lottery, your own fault, and as far as being unhappy with having to pay taxes, well, get used to it.

[oneway]

See Rule #14

Yep people complain about taxes but expect the police, military, schooling etc. come out of some weird source of income.

Yeah.  It will be much better when they just take your entire income and give you an allowance.

[MrRiplEy[H]]

You probably will never understand the amount of money it takes to build the infrastructure you need in your daily life. Starting from the power grids and sewage systems.

Without taxes the government couldn't function and your country would be, well, Somalia with a bunch of white folks keeping guard with shotguns.

The way the immigration laws have been enforced the last 20 years or so, its gonna happen anyhow.
