Humm,
Is that the best you can come up with...that was nearly seventy years ago......since then both our countries have started illegal wars invaded other countries and meddled in other countries politics and governments.....usually because we want their oil....or hate their religion or political system and we want to replace it with our own.....this has caused us huge expense by way of taxes that WE pay JUST to benefit the big companies who plunder other folks oil etc....nowadays foreign aid is less than 1% of budget.....meanwhile big fat cats owe billions in unpaid taxes through tax dodging and avoidance.
Scott mentioned the huge tax bill for our defence program it is in fact an attack program not defence.....we do not need a defence program as nobody has attacked us in over sixty years.....even the 911 outrage and other acts of terrorism was as a direct result in us meddling in other countries business and sending in troops we had no right or reason to send in....all so the capitalist ideals can flourish.
If capitalism is so great how come it starts so many wars, costs the working man so much and the big cats get away with paying nothing?
We are sucked in by the lies and propoganda fed to us by crooked business and politicians and are powerless to do anything about it...we even turn on the folks like me who point out the evils of capitalism and what is happening underneath our own noses.
Perhaps we as a society deserve what we get as we are so gullible, apathetic and stupid.
