But I'm not worried about either. Nor am I worried about such things as a comet striking the earth or a massive earthquake that splits the earth in two. Whatever happens will happen. There are certain things in nature that mankind has no control over and that raising taxes will not prevent.
If any of the above happens, nobody will be around to post that they were right all along.
“There are certain things in nature that mankind has no control over and that raising taxes will not prevent.”
HERETIC!!!!!
The Government and taxes can fix anything. Everyone knows this from childhood. This can be proven empirically by gathering any number of Scientists and reaching the blessed state of Consensus by promising them revenue and peerage.
It’s best if you get Scientists from fields that are unrelated to the topic at hand. Some disciplines are harder than others, and it may be necessary to shun the rebels who refuse enlightenment, but such is the price of progress.
If all else fails, we can enlist the aid of a Science Guy. As everyone knows, Science Guys are the ultimate arbiters of all scientific inquiry. Once his decree is established, it becomes law as immutable as the law of the Medes and Persians, and all will be right with the world.
