dave, If I have to pay 90 million (26%+-) on my $345 million a year, that means it'll take me 5 years to become a bonafide billionaire. I was planning on only 3 years (@ 17% average tax rate). I'm really depressed now and don't know how i'm going to make ends meet. You do the math. $250 million divided by 365 days a year only gives me $684,931.50 a day to live on. I won't be able to show my face in public. oh, the shame.
