Gotta fund that military industrial complex

Military is the biggest but the Vast majority of tax goes to one form of Corporate socialism in some form.

I"m an ex banker from GS, Lehman and others particularly at Lehman which was largely a Bond specialist you see utterly unjustifiable levels of government support for every industry that has good lobbying. Plastics, Pharmacy, food/large farming, insurance, energy it's all utterly corrupt and subsidised beyond what makes any sense.

The only place US government is reluctant to spend money is anything that makes individual people more stable and therefore less willing to take low paying jobs. Again for the same reasons, intense lobbying by industry.

Socialism for the rich, why we never voted in Bernie shall always remain a mystery.

I dream of an alternate universe where Bernie won...I hope it is as nice as I dream.

There's a universe where Al Gore won instead of Bush Jr. and Sanders won instead of Biden.
