Can you back up your statement with real facts and stats?

The Chief of Police from Tarrant County was on TV tonight about this. Statistics show average 1000 deaths during the Thanksgiving - NY Holidays annually in Texas from drunken driving. Not just injuries - deaths. Something had to be done. Those numbers are incredible.

Well, you know, poverty is a depressing thing.

I bet thousands and thousands of people kill themselves every year simply because they’re poor.

We can stop all of those deaths! We can end the carnage!

Just have the Government give each poor person $100,000 a year, and think of the lives that’ll be saved.

In fact, they can start with me.

Just DON’T try and take my blood.

I think the chief's a big fat liar. The numbers have been dropping regularly each year and 1K is about 1 full years worth.TX stats link.
