      But think of the savings. Early death means budget surplus from hospice saved. /s

      Can someone that still has a twitter ask Dan Patrick to take one for the economy here?

        @Amazinghorse that’s not really true. It won’t affect the bottom tax bracket. National have been pitching it as a tax cut for “middle income earners”.

        I just went and played around with their tax calculator and low income earners get almost nothing compared to wealthier people.
