Mark says cancer patients will demand exemptions!
Yep, that's right. Mark says that if the FairTax passes, cancer patients will DEMAND and get exemptions from their federal tax liability. Really? Let's look at the numbers. Mark doesn't like numbers. He's just not good with them. Mark likes to spew rantings and I guess he expects people to take what he says at face value. But we're talking about the FairTax, the largest tax reform bill in recent history, so I like to make sure that what anybody says is true and accurate. I research, Mark doesn't. According to the latest census, the total population of the United States is : 286,196,812 (click here). Mark says it's over 300,000,000 because he included illegal aliens! It may now be over 300,000,000, but how Mark knows the total number of illegal aliens is a mystery since the federal government has no idea. Starting to laugh? Hold on, it gets better! OK, according to the Center For Disease Control in Atlanta, the total number of cancer patients in the U.S. comes out to less than 3% of the total U.S. population. So, does anyone (besides Mark) think that congress will approve an exemption to federal taxes for a group that, however unfortunate, represents less than 3% of the population? I doubt it. Still with me? It gets even better! Mark comes back and says that the Center for Disease Control is wrong (I can't help laughing at this one). Mark says... well, let me quote him directly: "Of 300 million Americans, almost 100 million will get some kind of cancer in their life. Not 2%, try 33%."
Oh really Mark? People must be dropping like flies on your planet! That's pandemic proportions! One in every three people will get cancer? Gosh, there must be so many cancer clinics in this country, I should be able to toss a rock out the window and hit one.
This is just the first of many Mark Curran insane rantings. Stay tuned, more to come! Don't touch that dial!

Who knows what goes through the mind of someone as insane as Mark. I stopped trying to analyze him. That level of mental illness is best left up to the experts anyway. It boggles my mind how Mark comes up with these bizarre brain storms. How in his mind he twists things to try and make himself look normal and all the while he makes himself look even worse. I guess in Marks mind, after the FairTax becomes law, cows will populate our oceans and fish will graze in the fields. Chickens will talk and horses will fly. Pigs will recite poetry and birds will walk everywhere instead of flying. Now Mark says we won't conduct business like we used to. From now on health insurance companies will no longer pay the claims of patients. We'll now get 10 (that's ten) separate bills when we go to the hospital. Let's let Mark tell it, here's the quote directly from his blog site:
"No if you go to the hospital, you will get in effect ten separate bills -one for the surgeon, one for the CatScan, one for the pyschatrist,
But really - you will get whatever bill you get -- and taxes will be listed on it. Thats Fairtax gospel -- you SEE the sales tax aount on your bill.
Course, they dont use 500,000 cancer treatment as example -- no -- they use a shirt for 100 dollars. ANd 23 of that will be shown as the sales tax.
Uh huh.
I told you that the insurance company will have to PASS on the tax -- remember? YOu said corporations dont pay taxes -- remember?
This is a tax right? Insurance companies are corporations, right? You said they dont pay taxes, right?
Whats hard to grasp about this.
Insurance companies simply wont pay it. If you force them to write a check for it -- they will pass the cost on. They wont pay it.
How can say the corporations don't pay taxes -but you want the insurance companies to pay the the taxes. I don't understand that. If you know that corporations pass on their taxes-- and if you know that insurance companies are corporations, how can they violate your OWN rule?".
Again, this is verbatim from Mark's blog. Notice how he threw in "psychatrists" [sic]? I guess Mark must be refering to his stay in the psychiatric hospital after he molested the 6 year old child. I didn't embellish it or take anything away from it, with the exception of removing some spaces to conserve room here. Typo's intact, this is Mark's own words. Notice how he jumps all over the place? He forgets what the thread of the conversation is from comment to comment. In this one, he went from cancer patients to corporate taxes. In Mark's twisted little mind, he somehow links the sales tax of a medical patient that would be included in the patients final bill, to corporations don't pay taxes. So therefore your health insurance company won't pay the bill on your hospital stay. Is that bizarre or what? Now Mark says, we get ten separate bills instead of one! The best thing Mark says is, the health insurance company won't pay any of them! So, let me see, I'm paying premiums to a health insurance company for my health insurance and they aren't even going to pay my medical claims! He's a laugh a minute!
Nice blog, it looks real nice.
Cept the black font on the dark blue background is really hard to read.
I dont want you to publish my comments, I just wanted to say hi.
I dont recall saying anything about pigs and cows.
If you are going to debunk my posts or ideas, at least present them correctly.
YOu can even take stuff out of context -- thats fine.
You said corporations dont pay taxes. I didnt.
I said you now want insurance corporations to pay the tax -- your sales tax.
Oh sure, they will pay what they are supposed to for your medical costs. But they wont pay your sales tax. They will pass any tax along -- remember?
Oh now you show Dan's video.
He has a fine video. Its a very nice explanation of the Fairtax. It doesnt prove Fairtax. It just gives the typical speel -- and Dan looks like a true Blue American.
But Dan is mistaken. The Fairtax is based on "flawed principles". Sure it seems great - it seems fantastic!!
If it worked. If Dan's video was right.
If the government could pay itself 800 billion. Yeah.
If math didnt matter. Yeah.
Its essentially wishful thinking -- something for nothing. Very seductive idea. But it doesnt add up.
I'm not going to comment on the alleged proclivities of the blogger known as Mark, but I will say that the absurdity of absurdity is fairly easy to prove.
It's been said that "sensational stories make bad law", and we all know that's true. Mark has gone to great lengths to identify those few that _might_ be harmed if all of the unfortunate claims he makes were true. But since his comprehension of the issue is so clouded, it's clear he's simply clamoring for attention.
The Light is Green!
