"The hardest thing in the world to understand is income tax."  - Albert Einstein

Albert Einstein (March 14, 1879 - April 18, 1955) was a theoretical physicist.  You've heard of E = mc^2 right?  The Theory of Relativity?

Well Albert came up with it... one of the smartest dudes of all time and he can't even figure out his taxes.  I don't know why he was spending all that time trying to figure out mass-energy equivalence, he should have just invented TurboTax.

The Obamas pulled in $2.7 million in 2008, most of these earnings are from his best-selling books "Dreams from My Father" and "The Audacity of Hope".  His next book will be titled "Make Sure You Earn $249,999 or Less in 2009".

Obama gives more to charity than most upper-middle class Americans make in an entire year... $172,050.  Joe Biden, the VP, only pulled in a mere $269,256.  Mr. Biden made about $19,257 too much in 2008... slightly over the magical $250,000 mark.  Make sure  you pay your taxes!  Catch the rest of the details here.
