So hey. There's really only one thing I wanna talk about from that pic. But it's a good pic. Hat-tip to Farchivist.
3.2M workers for DOD
That's about 1% of the US population. How much of our money goes to that? How much better use could that money go to? Defense spending is what, 20%? Can we cut spending from the military now or what? We aren't fighting traditional wars anymore.
Raise revenue, cut spending. These are the tasks of the taxman. We need not make the taxman a thug. We need to make the taxman a judicious arbiter of funds. We choose the taxman with our votes.
