Thoughts on a $34 Billion Tax Bill

A Pennsylvania man is in the news after he received a $34 billion tax bill.  This is what one news report quoted him as saying:

“The first thought was, ‘I wish I made enough money to even owe thirty billion in taxes,’ then I was thinking, ‘I’m going to need to drink a lot of coffee in order to work three full time jobs’ and then I’m thinking, ‘Wesley Snipes doesn't have anything on me,’ and finally I was thinking, ‘don't they have a computer algorithm to spot an error like this and if a human looked at this why do they still have a job.’”
