Let the candidate tell how he or she proposes to replace or makeup for the lost money to the people's treasury. The people work for their money so can inheritance babies. They can pay tax on their couch potatohood.

And how much do those with HUGE offshore accounts need to sock away from taxes when, not only millions are starving, but work hard for less than nothing? How long before the less educated who are the right wing ideal, keep allowing the dumbing down of education? Critical thinking is outright evil to Texas educators. How scary is that!

But if I'd inherited Billions - wouldn't it seem smart to want just a few more? You know - for a rainy day er sumpthin'.
