What Have the Romans/Corporations Ever Done for Us?
Had an interesting email exchange with a friend on the (far) left who complained that our taxes need to be higher and that corporations pay less in taxes than my mom. Not sure where she’s getting her data, but my response was that that all those eeevil corporations do in return for lower taxes is provide jobs and raise the standard of living.
Harrumph.
That reminded me of the scene in Life of Brian where the People’s Front of Judea is complaining about the Romans:
Reg: “All right, but apart from the sanitation, the medicine, education, wine, public order, irrigation, roads, a fresh water system, and public health, what have the Romans ever done for us?”
Xerxes: “Brought peace.”
Reg: “Oh. Peace? Shut up!”
Some folks just have a basic forest and trees issue.

“Life if Brian” was so much funnier after I was saved.
