Doesn't make sense...: msg#00203

Subject: Doesn't make sense...

I am told that the man on the street in the US works long hours to
let ends meet...The "wide spread impression" that he is "affluent"
and that he has money flowing out of his sleeves...has no truth to
it. If that is true...why does he keep so "silent" about his tax
money being squandered in wrong places? One such wrong place is the
ongoing expenditure on sophisticated weaponry, at a time there is no
more "Soviet threat" regardless of whether such a threat
was "genuine" or was invented or inflated by those "parties" that had
a vested interest in pumping money into the armament industry. As a
layman, I ask this question. I am not a tax payer in the US. But I am
told that such astronomical expenditure on armaments has no real need
or justification what so-ever.
Some say, that the only victory so far achieved in Afghanistan is
for "The Carlyle Group" which "silently" reaped handsome contracts at
a time lots of Americans wait for their "food coupons"...
