Obama Announces A New, Leaner, US Corporate Welfare Program for the Rich via the Military

The US has the most bloated, corruption inspired military in the world. It’s a massive welfare and income redistribution program for rich people. Every missile built represents profit for the one percent. Likewise, every soldier killed represents profit for the one percent. When that soldier dies, or is maimed and unable to kill effectively anymore, the military needs to purchase a lot more stuff, like uniforms and equipment, for the dead soldier’s replacement. That means profits and huge profiteering for the one percent, and a loss for the 99 percent in taxes and blood. In other words, the US, with a military bigger in size than the next seven biggest military’s in the world, is a massive income redistribution scam. The 99 percent pay taxes to support it, and the one percent reaps all of the benefits via those taxes and the blood of the 99 percent who are killed and maimed for profit and profiteering. You could cut the US military in half and it would still be the biggest in the world. By some accounts, the US military is currently bigger than the rest of the worlds armed forces combined. How’s that for a rich person’s welfare and income redistribution program?
