    Damn you’re smart! To let the rest of us know how smart you are, I have a few questions you can answer for us:

    Explain how fewer young workers can produce enough in taxes to run the country.

    Explain how a dwindling tax base will support the elderly.

    Explain how to avoid an economic collapse as fewer and fewer people require fewer and fewer goods and services.

    Some of y’all have the economic understanding of an angry 15-yo.
