The War is Meant to be Continuous
I’ve quietly observed, and this is my take:
Congress wasted no time in capitalizing on the situation. They immediately tried to weaponize the public’s emotion (fear) to advance their agenda of reinvigorating public support for the war machine.
Our tax dollars should NOT be spent on any of these conflicts for any reason. Our tax dollars should ONLY be spent on the actual interests of the American People. We have a border that needs securing. We have corruption that needs eradicating. Our society is failing. We have PLENTY of our own problems.
Yet TRILLIONS of our tax dollars have been sent to fund these wars around the globe, that have absolutely nothing to do with us, and do not benefit us in any way. We are being stolen from on the largest scale imaginable. Our labor is used to fund nearly all conflict and war around the globe, while our once great nation continues to deteriorate, and our quality of life continues to plummet. We are slaves.
Our politicians are so eager to fund WW3, but cannot be bothered to fund anything that benefits their constituents. Until this mindset changes, the world will continue to fail, and full-scale global war will be our fate.
There will never be enough of our money to give to other countries or to feed the war machine. If they doubled taxes overnight it still wouldn't be enough to pay the pensions of workers in ukraine or help israel fend off whichever country they are antagonising today. Congress will never have enough money to launder back into their pockets to fund their own degenerate activities, they will want more.
As it is today we don't have any more to give them because we won't have enough gas money to get to work. No work means we won't have enough money to eat and keep a roof over our heads. So how do my fellow americans want to go forward? Is everyone okay with getting another job to fund some more bullsh#t? Is everybody okay with the way things are now and have no issues within our own lives?
Hard NO, not another dime from me, none of my time or effort either. We are on the brink of collapse and the last thing the government can expect from me is cooperation and unquestioning compliance. Every impulse I have is telling me to be loud and defiant. To be angry and to demand answers. I can't resist it and I really don't give a damn if I have to do it alone. Everyone can do whatever they want with their time and money. We can all have our own arrangement with the government and continue living the way we are today. Or we can all be defiant and uncooperative and demand answers and results. We can all stop feeding the war machine by not paying our taxes, not allowing these crooks to stay in office, and not follow any of their rules, laws, and statutes. Bringing the country to a grinding halt until all of our needs are met and all of our problems are fixed.
And never again have to entertain the thought of giving our money to fix the problems outside of our country...
Hi Clandestine,.
You nailed it,
It's a wealth transfer.
From my taxed pocket to their deep one.
