The picture is of a man who has been up all night watching the news on the government's new budget. in the picture you can tell he has been up all night due to the energy drink next to him as well as the bags under his eyes. Under the picture is a quotation (coming possibly from the woman, who is more than likely the man's wife, but isn't relevant to the issue) which pretty much says that even after the shutdown, the IRS wont be closed, so he'd still have to worry about taxes. From this, the man is hoping that the government shutdown will mean that he wont have to worry about taxes.
This is relevant to pretty much every person in the U.S. who files taxes. before the new budget, alot of people speculated that they wouldn't have to worry about their taxes. The cartton is a joke on all those americans who are just like the man infront of the television.
This is relevant to friday on April 8th when in class, Mr.Levy addressed the issue to class, stating clearly that the government wouldnt shut down any program involving the people and taxes. This is ideal, since government is trying to balance out its budget, and taxes are a huge part of the ecconomy.
