    Somehow I read "animal welfare" as "animal warfare" and I must say I'm totally down with spending $2.5 million on animal warfare.

    Not with you, lefty. You'd give it to illegal aliens so they could buy weapons to slaughter your family, friends and neighbors with. Then you'd kneel before them and grovel for your miserable traitor life.

    New house, furniture and and a ride. No debts & money in the bank & some gold socked away in the gun safe.

    Y'all are forgetting the most obvious thing: pay lots of taxes.

    I'd set up a college fund for my son, niece, nephew and great niece. An annuity for my parents to help out in their advanced years, and buy a house with a lot of land and a nice electrified fence the keep out the dirtbags.

    Speak for yourself, in this hypothetical I am assuming it's from a lottery win or something similar, and here lottery wins and not taxed. :D

    I'd give it to Charlie Sheen, sit back & watch the fun unfold.

    Yeah, Skin had figured on a poo-load getting sucked away in taxes. Skin's scenario was signing a book deal for like 3 books or something. Of course, it's rare for anybody to get that kind of money for a book deal, but that was Skin's own personal little fantasy. In the SHTF/boat scenario, Skin would do whatever it takes to dodge the taxes, though. They may or may not be voluntary on a legal level, but anything you can avoid doing to benefit this traitor government looks good avoided.

    I didn't forget it for this reason: what the government forces me to give them is, in terms of what I'm going to do with my money, never really mine to begin with (it is ethically but not practically) so when the question is "if you had $X" I'm assuming that "X" represents the post tax net sum.

    Build the house I always dreamed, underground. Fill it with books and retire. So pretty much what I plan on doing now, just minus the retiring part.
