think about it nitwit
@SeanMcElwee it almost seems like you're not even trying anymore!
@SeanMcElwee @LOLGOP BUT BUT WHY DON'T THEY PAY MORE TAXES
@SeanMcElwee @jimmystagger doesn't population have a lot to do with this?
@omyomy96 @SeanMcElwee I would imagine pop. differences would be taken into account.
@jimmystagger @omyomy96 how would pop affect anything? it's share of the wealth.
@SeanMcElwee @jimmystagger are you serious? The population of Canada and the US vs. The dollar amount for the equation.
@SeanMcElwee @jimmystagger Canada has a population of 35 million. 21 million are the lower half in that equation
@SeanMcElwee @LOLGOP All those numbers are pretty disgusting! Seriously messed up systems that allow this! And US is the worst! Sad very sad
