Do you know how much cool shit that would be more useful that you could do with 2 billion dollars? Or how no one would complain about getting an extra 300 dollars a year just by our country not being fat?  But no, people are fat. Not even close to a majority but enough to cost the whole country 2 billion dollars just because they want to be fat and ugly. Dumbfucks give us back the money we use to save you, you parasite. It's also estimated we lose another 2 billion dollars worth of BNP because the hams are in the hospital or at home because they got too sick to work.
