Freakin brilliant.
The rough part was the setting half of it aside for taxes part. That's gotta suck.

Yeah but it's still multi millions they probably did not have prior.

congrats on your success, now give half of your success to the government

it would be no more or less atrocious if he made $100 and had to give 48 to taxes

Agreed. That's why a flat tax would be the most fair. The rich would still pay way more taxes because 15% (or whatever %age) of a million is way more than 15% of $10,000 (not that someone that only made $10K would be required to pay in this country).

Seriously, it makes me think why even try to become super rich if the G is just going to steal half of it away. Why not just live middle, or upper middle class and not give the G as much?

It's a time tested fact that no matter how much the government taxes you, people will still be trying to get rich.

Agreed, albeit less people.
