3. Huuuge tax refund...bye NS debt!

   CRNA2007 replied to RN2B123's topic in General Nursing

   America as we know it cannot survive when almost half the people in it do not pay taxes. Perhaps if people had an ownership stake in the economy (everyone paying taxes) then people would better themselves or even get a 2nd or 3rd job to help out. A...

   CRNA2007 replied to Cyclic AMP's topic in SRNA

    CRNA2007 replied to Amir's topic in CRNA
