As we listen to the views and opinions of the so-called retired military officers, about fighting the new battles our nation has started to fight this week, you have to remember that those same so-called retired military officers are also the highly paid lobbyist that now have jobs with the companies that make and profit from the equipment used in combat.
The military-industrial complex has no problem funding their employees to push for using the inventories that have sitting stored in their warehouses in our nation. When we give the third world countries and newly exposed military quality equipment for police departments, for free, just remember we taxpayers paid for that free stuff, and will pay again to replace the new stuff our government buys from them.
Nothing is free. I for one, am waiting for the day we will be charged for the air we breath. Water, an item that we can not stay alive without, is now a for profit natural resource that is fattening the pockets of the rich and powerful at level never seen before. Our nation needs to nationalize our water supply and run it as a non-profit, government agency. We should have done that ages ago.
If two of the most important products of mother nature are allowed to be used as a profit center by Corp-America, enslavement is what the future will hold for those who follow us into the future?
Wake up America, before its too late, and get those in leadership places in our government out of office. Yes, each of our votes has become the only weapon the working class has now. Dem or Repub, no matter, if they don”t look after our nation”s citizens, boot them to the curb!
