Why cut taxes?

[Walter Sobchak]

Yeah we did, man. Ask Walter... He will tell you and show you the pictures.

Brown children don't count. So you can keep cheerleading for the bombings to continue frank.

USA! USA! USA!

[Uncle Ted]

The growth will cover part, but not all of the tax cuts. Duh.

Unless we do something to cut spending, all this means is even more deficit spending.

Cutting spending is pretty easy, JL... We can stop listening to NYT, Guardian, CNN, Fox, MSNBC, and the other so called news about how terrorists are our worst nightmare and stop fighting these stoopid wars:



If anything, we should be fighting the war on heart disease and cancer.

How can we do that the Libertarian way? Letting people rot so they get weeded out of the genepool?

By not spending on the money we now spend on defense spending there would be lots of folks that would have extra money would most likely donate to the American Heart Association and the American Cancer Society... Heck, Bill Gates and Jeff Bezos could give them enough just between the two of them.

Seems to be really hard for our politicians.

[Uncle Ted]

Seems to be really hard for our politicians GOP'ers and Dims.

FIFY.

That's a fascinating graphic, but shouldn't we be focused on premature death? Everybody is going to die from something, and if you live long enough you are going to get some sort of cancer or heart disease, I would guess.

[frank ryan]

FIFY.

We don’t have any elected Libertardian politicians, so no worries about them being confused with the two parties.

#FakeNews Sorry Frank... Nationwide, there are 164 Libertarians holding elected offices.

What? No one dies prematurely from heart disease or cancer?

Not very many death certificates list the cause of death as "very old." They blame it on heart failure, which is chalked up to heart disease, or some sort of cancer, which might not be worth fighting anymore. My grandmother died at 101. She had survived cancer once but had a second type diagnosed when she was 99. WHen she died 2.5 years later, it might have been from the untreated cancer, or she might have just stopped living. I think the death certif refernced heart issues, but I am not sure. At her age, it was time and no one felt like it was a great tragedy to go, even if cancer or heart disease caused it.

SO, sure, lots of people die prematurely, but do they back the non-premature deaths out of the stats we talk about?

Texas has two and Utah has one.

OK, so I am right about my assertion that Bill Gates and Jeff Bezos could fully fund all the research that the American Heart Association and the American Cancer Society need.

I should have said national office. Not HOA or PTA president.
