Live Fast Food & Leave An Obese Cadaver
The Myth Related to *Americans' Poor Life Expectancy
'It’s one of the most oft-repeated justifications for socialized medicine: Americans spend more money than other developed countries on health care, but don’t live as long.

As Thomas Jefferson wrote, "no liberty, no life." From the above 2 Enlightenment philosophers there is only one conclusion: Low taxes = low freedom = short live spans. Bret Cahill |
