Logic Can Be Taxing

Nothing quite like taxpaying civilians: tax billionaires of all of their billions. But win ‘em a lottery? Resolve gets quite watery: seems the IRS wants two hundred million.
---------- People reportedly outraged at having to pay $200M in tax on an immediate payout of the $1.6B lottery, lol. (This one is a bit long for a limerick. I wish there was a generic Quintilla - the English is ababb and the Sicilian is ababa, and this is of course aabba.)
