    Sign tax is real. They don't inspect it, look at it, notice it...just tax it.

    And poor people always complain about all the free stuff they get from the government.

    "Oh...this cheese isn't that good!"

    "This free cancer care is making my hair fall out.."

    "They won't allow me to buy booze and cigarettes and lottery tickets with my food stamps..."
