Taxpayers: I’m worth about $1.5 million of your tax money. You pay for me to be here for 14 years thus far. Did you know your money that you pay the IRS is used to turn prisons in a myriad of other places, places like colleges, hospitals, public housing, gambling, drugs.

But more [inaudible] the economy has grown and iInflation has vanished. You have a better chance of donating your money to me. Send it to my prison account and depend on me to change the whole thing, [inaudible]. Is the government punishing you when you pay the taxes? I’m not being political, just economical, you taxpayers.
