$58million hid in a shed

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/asia-pacific/7289581.stm

Jesus two sisters in Japan inhearted $73 million from their dad when he died. They didn't want to pay the inheritance tax ($28m) so they hid the money in a shed behind their house.

I can't say I really blame them, but how dumb can they be to think they can just make that much money disappear.

Just shows how much BS taxes are though.. it's very likely their dad paid taxes on the money when he earned it. Yet when he dies they have to pay almost half of it in taxes again.

Govts and their taxes are the biggest shams there are.. Just about anywhere you live you get taxed on top of getting taxed. In fact I wonder how much tax is paid on a single dollar thought it's life span.
