@neiltyson We have control in those we elect. We have more control than we are willing to put to good use. We are lazy. -
@iralarry@neiltyson elections are bought and paid for well in advance. democracy was a nice idea, but doesn't work in a dishonest society. -

@neiltyson Yeah, I'm seriously considering retiring out of the US. Sad. Costa Rica seems promising. Wife from there.

@neiltyson So we have to have punitive taxes at every turn or we become like them? Such a false equivalency is beneath you, Dr. Tyson. -
@SkipTerrio he made no equivalency -
.
@SeanErnst Yes, he did. He listed undesirable nations to live & equated them w/a lower tax rate. Therefore, "lower taxes = bad". -
@SkipTerrio meaning he didn't label them as undesirable you did -
.
@SeanErnst Yes, I'm sure it was totally coincidental that he chose all despotic regimes.
