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"...
