  1. ​ @CronusAD  It's OUR money. The people -- 'We, the People' -- are the public government. The people consent to be governed. The people allow the military to exist by consenting to govern it. The money, which allows the military to exist, belongs to the people. The military (just like healthcare, incarceration, and education) has been corrupted and co-opted by a few private individuals by swindling 'We, The People' who are supposed to be the government. A few private individuals are stealing our money because they have corrupted our government. But, that is an entirely different lesson. ----- As for the topic at hand: I want The People's money to go to running the military. I don't want The People's money to go to profits for private corporations or individuals. I want the people in the military to concentrate on the military. I don't want private corporations to worry about the military. I want the military to be under the control of The People. I don't want the military to be under the control of private corporations. I want the military to be focused on helping all people. I don't want the military to be focused on 'welfare' or private profits. I want the government to operate 'welfare' and the military. I don't want private corporations and private profit to have any influence over 'welfare' or the military. ----- You write as if you don't know how this works. You write as if you've never wanted for anything -- as if you've never gone without your needs being met. Your writing oozes privilege. If your seeming privilege was actually leakage which was seeping out of your anus, you would want to get it looked at.
