Less,

Your argument assumes Senator Gregg doesn’t eat a McChicken, a conclusion that could easily be smacked down. Just think how many McChickens he could buy with $850,000, he is probably subsidizing you. Keep asking for new and inventive taxes and you’ll get them, but I guarantee your complaint won’t change, only your wallet will be lighter.
