My Government has their pound of flesh

Twenty seven years ago I bought some land in the hopes that I could build on it later. That never happened. I sold it at the peak of the market, as everyone would hope to do. I made a lot of money, it only took a twenty seven year wait. I worked almost every day last year, thousands of hours. In total, I paid in fifty seven thousand dollars in taxes. Today, I get to pay the remaining twenty thousand dollars.

That's right folks, my tax liability this year is seventy seven thousand dollars.

OMG

I am speechless.
