“If your country has enough money to give to other countries, your taxes are too high.”.....
...The Federal Reserve prints money; Congress sends that money to corporations, foreign governments, and special interests; and the people who profit in the real world send a cut of their new wealth back to the politicians. Lather, rinse, repeat. As another witty yet anonymous writer has observed online,
“Statistically, a gun is much less likely to be used in a crime than a member of Congress.”.....
Here’s the good news for Americans desperate to earn a living: the war machine is always hiring. If you make it out alive, government-run healthcare can treat your injuries and PTSD. If you don’t, then the government saves a lot of money. Hmm, do you suppose this is why D.C. politicians and warmongering pundits are so willing to send servicemembers into harm’s way without coherent battle plans, strategic objectives, or mission prioritization for their lives?
After all, if the federal government and its corporate friends need people to pick crops and fix things, they’ll just import new voters. It’s what criminal enterprises do!
