$1 Million is a pretty pathetic number, especially to retire on. I mean, few year worth of work and you can have that much, so who in their right mind would do that and be forbidden from making any more income?

The only problem this would solve is it would give the crackheads enough cash to finally OD.

I don't know what kind of profession you're in Subman, but a "few years" of work doesn't add up to a million dollars to very many working people.

Besides, it was a joke

JB You don't even have to apply anymore, you just walk across the border and head for the welfare office. Call ahead and they'll have your check ready and waiting for ya.
