Our Tax System

Looking at this from a medical point of view - their livers would be in much better shape if they all quit drinking every night.

Funny. In no way addresses the point of the essay, but funny. I am sure you are smart enough to figure out the real point.

But then again... Like the very last line says...

I purposely chose to ignore the point of the essay. I do hope you are not insinuating that I am dumb?

Truthfully, since I have been in the medical field for over 40 years, my first thought upon reading the piece was about the amount of beer consumed. These men will not have to worry a wit about taxes; they are all going to die of cirrhosis and esophageal varices.

As the saying goes, nothing in this life is certain except death and taxes. As a solitary individual, I can do nothing about either - except maybe stave off the death a few more years.

I know, I shouldn't change the drift of your post, so will now bid you adieu. . . . .

No ma'm. I am very aware that you are quite smart. I do very much so enjoy chatting with you.

My apologies if I came across otherwise.

To each their own in God's time. I've known plenty of hard living, heavy drinkers who have lived or are living in their 80's or 90's. Not excusing it, but as you say below, little is certain...

You forgot the love of a parent to their child. At least in my case.

And, we COULD do something about taxes, but are too sloth and divided, purposely so I feel, by two parties who benefit from such division. It keeps us fighting each other, rather than the REAL enemy... THEM.

Last I checked, it was WE THE PEOPLE.

I know, I shouldn't change the drift of your post, so will now bid you adieu. . . . .

Please... What thread in teh DH actually stays on topic? It's all good. LOL
