My suggestion to balance the federal budget: Take everyone with assets over, say, $2 million and nominate them for a position in Obama's cabinet. The billions in unpaid taxes that would bring in would go a long way towards balancing the budget. Apparently, rich people just don't bother to pay their taxes, and nominating them to be secretary of something is the only way to get them to pay up. So, lets get started. Nominating Bill Gates for Secretary of Mosquito Control ought to bring in half a billion in one go.

If you answered "Yes" to either of these questions, pay your taxes. If you answered "No" to both of these questions, you do not need to pay your taxes.
