Ah, then lets ban all sugar because I hate the greedy bashturds. I wouldn't want to see a dentist get a dime.

Nay nay, their taxes paid for all that for over the years.

I think this country might need another revolution or at least throw all of these corrupt politicians out of congress and government.
