Waterhole Ike, the Pig Who Paid Income Tax.

Meet Waterhole Ike, a pig that had his own Social Security number and bank account and paid taxes.

This whole story started with Mark Cowley, who owned a bar and grocery store in Golconda, Nevada. Cowley and his patrons decided to start a union, so they chipped in $5 each for dues and used the proceeds to buy a pig named Waterhole Ike.

Waterhole Ike’s job was to make money for the union by breeding - his offsprings were sold at $25 apiece, complete with fake pedigrees. Money were rolling in, and Cowley wanted to open a bank account for Ike.

But first, he needed a social security number for the pig:

Ike is a law abiding citizen so Cowley dropped in at the post office and picked up a Social Security card request form. Mark
explained, "I helped fill out the form, listing his mother, ‘Go-Pig-Go,’ and father, ‘Three Stars.’ I signed for him. You can’t expect
a pig his age to write."

About three weeks later, a letter arrived from the Social Security Administration in Baltimore, Maryland. Cowley opened it.
There it was. Waterhole Ike had his own Social Security card, 530-80-4623. The card was displayed on the bar’s wall for all
to see.

The bank later sent a letter to Ike offering him a loan from $2,500 to $25,000 if he ever needed it.
