Another Victim of the IRS
This poor chap wouldn't have lost on "Jeopardy" if the tax code were not so convoluted that it required an enormous tax preparation business for people to pay their taxes. According to the troublesome question, H&R Block alone employs some 70,000 tax prep people.
Of course, the poor guy also owes $1 million or so in income taxes on his winnings. Talk about adding insult to injury!
For more on the tax code montrosity, Craig Depken has a nifty chart on the number of pages in the tax code.
