      It was all part of an apologetic trade deal that we deeply regret. As a apology for sending our rubbish (human trash) Piers Morgan and Simon Cowell we send over John and Hugh Laurie to say sorry. It feels like too much but also at the same time, just not enough.

      @@Rowsy91 not that he wasn’t well liked, more that he wasn’t as well known. Over here we have so many great comedians that not many find themselves in the spotlight with their own program like John does now. John was one of the comedians on Mock the week but it’s a panel show with 6 other comedians mostly on rotation and a comedian host. By moving to the US he stands out more with his British humour, style and let’s face it, accent.

    I like Cardi's attitude about it. Taxes are essential to the well-being of ourselves and our economy. And you should take the time to find out what happens to that money and make note of the things you like and don't like and what you are using and what you aren't using.
    I'm responsible for reporting and getting fixed 4 potholes this year in my neighborhood. Did you know your state has a pothole number and they have a limited time to fix that hole ONLY after someone reports it? Did you know your taxes pay for that? And that's just one of many things you can demand. Did you know you can demand they clean your local park? There's a number for that too. GET INVOLVED! You can also call the help desk for police to secure neighborhood events or businesses, the number is different for every state neighborhood. You would be surprised how much being annoying to the government can turn a neighborhood around. AND YOU ARE PAYING FOR IT! USE IT!

    I would Like to thank everyone who takes the time. To listen, to learn, to try to understand, to possibly change your point of view. Even just may be able to understand the other side. Let's stop being against everything. Let's spend our time finding things we can agree on, Like never having to hear the Words "Government Shutdown" again.

    This was funny asusual but I feel like they missed an opportunity to explain WHY corporations should pay taxes, since the main argument I hear against this is that corporations don't pay taxes, the consumers do when they buy their products.

      Unfortunately, it closed in July 2018. However, John's ridiculous auction purchases* still have a home: the single Blockbuster remaining, not just in the US, but in the entire world, located in Bend, Oregon.
      *excluding the jockstrap. It was missing when the Bend store received the items and John has stated he doesn't know where it went.

    I don't know how this works, but I know that the US is interested to keep the dollar as an accepted currency. Stuff like getting people in other countries to rate their prices in dollars, stuff like that. If the corporations bring the money back, I suppose the dollar will no longer be that well accepted.
