30 Billion Dollars More for a War we've already lost. Who will pay?

Let's put this in perspective.

Bernie Sanders plan for free college tuition for all is estimated at 60 billion.

It's paid for with a sales tax on stock transactions.

Who will pay for this new ground war in Syria?

Can we not have a special tax on the wealthiest to pay for this incredibly stupid decision??

kids are given guns to fight for whatever the asshole billionaires want. "USA! USA!" chants and Jesus stuff and billionaires' media bullshit can turn people into zombies.

Bastards are going to plunder. All we can do is limit the plundering.
