Hi, I'm Stuart Shepard. This is Stoplight!
You've probably heard by now that Disney is buying Lucas Films as in George Lucas
as in the entire Star Wars Universe.
Disney bought the universe? That's cool! And the price tag is:
(Sappy announcer voice) 4-billion dollars!!
That's like winning "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire" like four-thousand times!
And imagine what you could buy with (Sappy announcer voice) 4-billion dollars!!
You could buy tickets to fly into space more than twenty-thousand times.
You could buy more than two-thousand Bugatti Veyron's. They'd probably throw in the floor mats for free.
Or you could buy more than 650-million # 1's at Chick-Fil-A with a large sweet tea.
Imagine what dent that would put in the National Debt.
You're kidding...right? Well no, it's (Sappy announcer voice) 4-bill.
Would you STOP that? Sorry..
Well the President says we can help things...
"by asking the wealthiest to pay a little bit more..."
Let's do the math on that. 4-billion dollars divided by 16-trillion dollars is point zero-two-five percent.
See there's 25% of the debt gone. No, no, not 25%, it's point zero-two-five percent.
That's twenty-five thousandths of one percent.
So when you hear someone say "all we need to do is have rich people pay a little bit more"
it's kind of like pitting what some have called "The Debt Star"
up against a Lego Luke Skywalker.
So the force isn't going to cut it...Something much stronger it will take! The Vote!!
