No. 7: After tax cuts for the rich and leaving billions of tax dollars slip away through big U.S. corporations using a Bermuda P.O. box number to evade tax loopholes, there is no money left for a good Medicare drug program. No. 6: Senior citizens who can’t afford their drugs won’t live long enough to use much of the Social Security fund. No. 5: Only illegal drugs, illegal aliens with tuberculosis and cows with mad cow disease are allowed to cross into U.S. borders. No. 4: All Americans should be fat and healthy after eating meat, milk and eggs from poultry and livestock pumped full of growth hormones and antibiotics. No. 3: You can’t get any interest on your savings anyway so you may as well spend it on overpriced drugs.No. 2: Corporate greed and political corruption is business as usual for most big U.S. companies.
