A few years back I had to explain that to a liberal friend of mine .. seems he never thought of it that way
Then I proceeded to put him in further shock when I explained to him that he doesn't really earn a paycheck for himself till May ... because his money earned prior to that when to pay for taxes
You could tell your liberal friend or Julian to move to Canada. Lottery winnings there are untaxed. Everything else is taxed up the wazoo but they have left those alone. Even a Canadian winning a US lottery would probably gather the full amount due to tax treaties between the 2 nations.
