3 Important videos to be certain to watch if you really want to know where your tax dollars go, and why.
1)
2)
3)
Factor in a quote from a U.S. Marine who was the only person ever awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor TWICE: "War is a rackett"--Major General Smedley Darlington Butler, United States Marine Corps, 1881 - 1940.
Go ahead, argue with either. Republican President Dwight D. Eisenhower who graduated West Point, was a five-star general in the United States Army. During World War II, he served as Supreme Commander of the Allied forces in Europe, with responsibility for planning and supervising the invasion of North Africa in Operation Torch in 1942-43 and the successful invasion of France and Germany in 1944–45, from the Western Front. In 1951, he became the first supreme commander of NATO.
Or, Smedley Butler, a Marine Major General who was awarded the Medal of Honor, not once, but twice.
Do you REALLY think that the collection of pinheads (Bachmann, Cain, Gingrich, Romney, Paul, Perry, Santorum, Huntsman) that you are seeing every day in media reports knows better than either of those two? Really?
Eisenhower and Butler warned us that what those videos document will happen to us if we weren't careful.
Gee, I guess we failed to listen, were simply to stupid and / or too afraid to heed their warnings.
The next time some low-information voter opens their misguided pie hole and includes the word: "entitlement" in anything they say ... have them watch these videos. After they watch explain to them how they are being sodomized by the Corporatocracy and the greedy sock-puppets who report to them, on a daily basis. The country is not broke. Social Security and Medicare have nothing to do with the economic condition we find ourselves in today. We are just wasting money paying the private Corporatocracy inflated prices for crap that does not enhance our military stength, but only the bank accounts of corporate executives, their lobbyists, and their Congressional sock-puppets.
Tally this very real 'issue' as one of hundreds of issues that the Occupy movement and the 99-percenters are all about.
Low-info-voter types frequently ask what it is that the Occupy crowd wants. Generally speaking, they want ALL of the 99-percent to wake the hell up and begin to GET-IT before it is truly too late ... and it's getting close to that point.
To address the argument that if we 'balance' our military spending with our non-death-and-destruction-spending we will be left defensless and vulnerable. Pure crap. U.S. military spending outstrips ALL other militarys on the planet COMBINED. And yeah, that does include China. Get your head around the numbers, and the facts.
The thing that Eisenhower warned us about and the current imbalance between the military spending and everything else positive we might do with those dollars ... posiitve, non-destructive things has little to do with our nation's security, and everything to do with excessive, private corporate profits, and greed.
The military-industrial-complex has used 'fear' to get We-The-People to buy into their 'need' for 53% of every tax dollar. That's nuts.
