    When you invest in real estate you have to send a portion of the land and building to the IRS every quarter. And people who invest in gold have to send gold to the IRS every quarter. And people who invest in stocks have to send a few stocks to the IRS every quarter.

    So obviously yes you'd have to send some lego to the IRS every quarter.
