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!
