I think even if we pull out of Iraq, that money would go to Afghanistan or possibly Iran. I believe if we pulled out of both it would be a great cut but we'd also be paying for those countries reconstructions.
No, either wages go up and we put a cap on CEO perks, pay and benefits or we continue to have the rich getting richer and the poor poorer and the rich absorbing more and more taxes for social programs.
Unless you want to cut social programs to a bare bones minimum and then, then you'd see action by the people.
It's simple the less you pay people, the less people can buy, the less they can pay in taxes, the more crime goes up. The Ultra rich don't give a damn because they have spent the last decade building themselves fortresses for houses and have houses in other countries..... The upper middle class and the poor schlob who has a little money will be the ones paying more for police protection and in taxes.
The disparity in this country has reached a high that is destroying this country and if you don't see it or you don't believe it, you really need to check your reality meter.
There is only one way to save this country, raise the wages of the working man, lower or tax heavily, the wages/perks/benefits of the ultra rich and hope it is not too late.
