"Autistic people will never pay taxes."

I don't get it.
The new US Secretary of Health and Human Services recently said as much in an interview, the joke is a response to that.
Thank you for the link. Now I don't get why it's funny.
Same reason this classic is funny:

A lot of jokes are based on somebody interpreting words in some way that's perfectly logical but wildly at odds with what the speaker intended. RFK meant autistic people won't pay taxes because they won't be able to hold down jobs; the (presumably autistic) kid in the cartoon took him to mean they won't pay taxes because the government says autistic people don't have to.

Now it's not funny because it needed to be explained. :frown:
